Kogi Poll: Bello, Adeyemi Plotting To Arrest Dino – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party PDP has raised alarm over the alleged plot by Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello and the APC senatorial candidate of West Kogi senatorial district, Smart Adeyemi to arrest Dino Melaye ahead of the November 16 gubernatorial and senatorial polls.

PDP revealed that the alleged plot was fine tuned at the Government House on Monday.

Melaye’s media aid Gideon Ayodele, disclosed this to newsmen in a press statement on Tuesday.

He stressed that the Governor together with some other APC stakeholders had concluded plans to arrest the senator.

It could be recalled that a Federal High Court had nullified the senatorial election of Dino Melaye and ordered INEC to conduct a fresh election in the Kogi West Senatorial district.

The statement reads in part “The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the people of Kogi West Senatorial District and Kogi electorates to resist any attempt to rob them of their right in choosing candidates of their choice in the elections.”

Meanwhile, the State Governor in his response to the allegation noted that it was not his responsibility to arrest offenders.

Yahaya Bello disclosed this through the Director-General, Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo.

He said “The governor is not interested in arresting anyone, not even Dino because there is no need for that. He has lost the election because he is not campaigning since he has nothing to tell the people.”
