Guber Race: Dino Pledges To Return Sanity To Kogi, If Elected
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Sen. Dino Melaye, has promised the people of Kogi state that, his administration would return sanity to the system in the state by working directly with the people, if elected as governor.
Senator Melaye disclosed this during an interactive session with Kogi State women, youths, and sectoral leaders at his residence in Lokoja, Kogi State capital, according to the statement issued by his media team in Lokoja on Monday.
He lamented the impunity in governance in the state, adding that the development had wrecked the potentialities and capacity of the State to play a leading role in productivity, innovations, and economic development.
“A state so endowed with abundant natural resources should be in the lead in innovations, economic growth, and development. It is worrisome that because of bad governance, these potentialities are frustrated and instead, our State is always in the news for the wrong reasons.
“However, I want to assure you that when, on November 11, you cast your vote for me, protect your votes, and ensure that your votes count, that will lead to the new beginning that we have long sought in Kogi state.
I will work with you individually and collectively, community and local government as well as the state to ensure that we revamp our dear state and rebuild her for this generation and the ones to come after us.
“Our state has no business with poverty because we are industrious and hardworking people. As your governor, we will focus on innovations that will make our State functional and make all our people active engaged, and productive”, Senator Melaye said.
He stressed that the State is blessed with more natural resources, comparable to many countries of the world, and assured that such resources would be effectively harnessed for the benefit of the people
According to the PDP candidate, “Kogi State has more natural resources than so many countries of the world.
“We have 52 mineral resources in Kogi state, Kogid, uranium, gypsum, lime gypsum, crude oil, and so on, and all these are in global commercial quantities.
” When I am elected, I will work with our people as well as every government agency and ensure that Kogi draws its maximum benefit from her endowments”.
He also assured that he would bring his academic knowledge, legislative experience, and, international contacts to bear in the State if elected as Governor in November.
