On Thursday, Dino Melaye, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for governor of Kogi State, said that he had survived four murder attempts in the state.
Melaye attributed the efforts to the All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that the party is bred for violence.
During his appearance on Arise Television, he revealed this.
According to the former senator for Kogi West, since the APC took office seven years ago, conflict has been a constant in Kogi people’s daily lives.
According to Melaye:
“I have survived four assassination attempts; I have had 12 court cases of FG vs. Dino Melaye, and I have been attacked severally. It is not new, as it is in the DNA of the APC to be violent.
“Kogi State is like an evil forest that needs instantaneous redevelopment and needs a messiah.”
The former senator said he hopes to be instrumental in ameliorating the pains of those living in the state.
He further said it has never been this bad in the history of Kogi, as the state is more divided than at any other time in its history.
