People’s Democratic Party, PDP, hopeful in the November 16 gubernatorial election in Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye has berated the All Progressive Congress-led government in the state saying it is a “government of the greed and for the greed.
The controversial Senator, throwing punches at the incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello says what the people of Kogi are witnessing right now is ‘Greedocracy’, insisting that his mission is to liberate his people from slavery and oppression.
“Kogi State is not witnessing democracy,” the loquacious Senator said. “What we are witnessing is the government of the greedy, by the greedy and for the greedy; best put as ‘greedocracy’.
“But when I come on board as governor, I shall build a new Kogi State where ideas will revolutionize the state.
“My administration will banish hunger from the state. Kogi has no business to be poor. I shall look into agriculture and technology to turn around the economic fortune of the state.”
Melaye believed he is the best amongst the aspirants in PDP even though as he claimed he had nobody backing him.
“I have no father, uncle, in-law or godfathers to pilot my ambition. But I have the requisite requirements to face the APC candidate in the election.
“I fear nobody. I only respect human beings. I have been arrested 18 times within the last three years and I have 12 cases in court. But I’m still standing. I have what it takes to face and rescue the state from Yahaya Bello,” he stated.
