“I Won’t Be Muslim, Christian Governor” – Melaye Promises All Inclusive Governance
Eko Hot Blog reports that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 11 Kogi governorship election, Senator Dino Melaye, has promised not to govern the state by religion or ethnicity.
Speaking at the governorship campaign’s grand finale at the state party secretariat in Lokoja, the state capital, on Thursday, Melaye said that if elected, he would govern the state with the fear of God.
Addressing party supporters, Melaye vowed to industrialise and explore the vast mineral resources available in the state and improve the internally generated revenue through tourism which he said would attract investors.
Melaye asserted that out of the 18 contestants jostling to be the governor of the state, he was the most qualified, experienced, educated and exposed.
