The gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye, has expressed concerns regarding a purported plot to deploy hooligans during the upcoming gubernatorial election on November 11, 2023. Melaye conveyed these worries during a press conference held in Abuja on Thursday.
According to Melaye, information obtained by his campaign team indicates that these troublemakers are being transported to Kogi State from Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo States. To avoid detection by local residents, fake Police and Army uniforms have reportedly been distributed to these individuals. Nevertheless, Melaye asserted that they are fully prepared to safeguard their constituents and the integrity of the voting process during this election.
Melaye emphasized the need for security agencies to take immediate action in response to these revelations. He called for a fair and transparent election where the votes of all Kogi State residents would be duly counted. He expressed confidence in the overwhelming support of the people and assured that they would protect their votes within the boundaries of the law. Melaye made it clear that they were ready to defend their people against any attempts to disrupt the peace.
In a direct message to Governor Yahaya Bello, Melaye revealed their awareness of another group of hooligans and troublemakers allegedly being brought in from Ijebu, Ogun State, under the leadership of one Alfa Nojeem Agbebi.
The press conference was attended by Hon. Habeebat Deen, the deputy gubernatorial candidate for the PDP, and other members of the PDP Governorship Campaign Council.
