Eko Hot Blog reports that Osun State Governnor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has assured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Kogi State, Dino Melaye of victory at the forthcoming November 11 polls.

Adeleke, who is the Chairman of the PDP Campaign Council for Kogi State, has said for Melaye to emerge victorious in the November 11 polls, all hands must be on deck to deliver him.

At the council’s inaugural meeting at the party National Secretariat in Abuja, Adeleke said he had defeated many incumbents in his political journey; all they need do is put God first.

He explained that the easiest way for Melaye to win the election was for all party members in Kogi State to cooperate with him.

Adeleke said, “We are marching to victory in the upcoming Kogi State governorship election. This gathering is another step towards our march into the Lord Lugard House, Lokoja.

Few weeks ago, our national leadership inaugurated the campaign council at this venue. Today, we are inaugurating the sub-committees to take mobilisation and other associated work to the deeper level. I charged all members of the state committee to be committed to the main goal of this assignment.

“Our job is to ensure that our candidate, Senator Dino Melaye, is elected governor of Kogi State in the forthcoming election. So shall it be, and, it is done. As sub-committee members, we must contribute our areas of mandate to achieve this victory because it is a serious business. If you know you are not ready to sacrifice yourself so that we can get to that Promised Land, nobody is forcing you to be here.

But if you are ready to join hands together to take Kogi and move Kogi forward to that Promised Land, I’m bringing you a template that worked in Osun State. I’m bringing you templates of hard work, success story. By so doing, I’m anointing all the members here so that we can get Kogi.

“However, it is God first, if we put God first, everything is possible. I have defeated incumbents several times. If we focus our mind and we have faith and, when you have faith, anything can be done. You must first of all believe in what we are doing. If you don’t believe in what we are doing, you have no business here. Dino and I have things in common. I’m from Osun West and, Dino is from Kogi West. As it was the turn of the West in Osun State, it is the turn of the West in Kogi State.

We need peace for the election. We are talking to each other that we must have peace and, it’s already accepted. This is democracy. I have already met with Governor Yahaya Bello that we are coming to your state to campaign. Let the best man win. No fighting whatsoever, and he has agreed.”

In his remarks, the governorship candidate, Melaye, called for support from all Kogites and party members across the three Senatorial Districts and nine Federal Constituencies to emerge victorious during the November 11 election.
