Osun State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign chairman for the November 11 governorship election in Kogi State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has said development would be restored in the state when Senator Dino Melaye is elected governor.

Adeleke in a meeting with the elders and stakeholders of Kogi West chapter of the PDP in Kabba, said Kogi people had proud accomplishments when the party governed the state. A statement by the spokesman of Osun State governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke, said; “Kogites know that when PDP was in office their lives were better than now. Their business concerns were doing well, their salaries were paid in full and things generally moved smoothly.

“I’m Imole and Dino is Imole too. Together, we are bringing light to Kogi State and I implore the people of Kogi State to unite and rescue the state. “I have told Governor Yahaya Bello that Imole is coming to Kogi State. Our campaign will be issue based and we shall repeat the Osun feat in Kogi State by God’s grace.” He urged people of Kogi State not to be deceived again by the machinations of the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding; “If you go to APC, they will use you and dump you no matter who you are. Let us join hands and move both the PDP and Kogi State forward.”      The chairman, contact and mobilisation committee of the national campaign, Professor Jerry Gana, told the people of Kogi West that they had a golden opportunity to produce the next governor of the state.

“You must pull all your political capital together to ensure that the opportunity of producing a governor this time does not elude you,” he said.

Also, the secretary of the national campaign council, Senator Biodun Olujimi, said the people of Ekiti State shared close affinities with Kogi West and it is their great desire to see PDP restored to power in the state.

Those present at the meeting were the Kogi State PDP deputy governorship candidate, Hajia Habibat Mohammed Deen; PDP national vice chairman (North Central) Mr Dakas Shan; Hon Tajudeen Yusuf; Hon Shaba Ibrahim;  Dr Steven Olorunfemi; Hon Abiodun Ojo; the director general, Dino/Habiba Campaign Organisation, Prince Inuwa Iyodo; Prince Richard Akanmode; Kola Ologbondiyan; Hon.
