The chairman of the National Campaign Council, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the Kogi governorship election, Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has boosted the party’s victory in the coming November 11 election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on October 22nd, 2022 announced November 11, 2023, for the governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi States.
Senator Dino Melaye is the gubernatorial candidate of PDP in the state.
Adeleke called for the cooperation of all party members for the party’s candidate in the November 11 governorship election while boasting of defeating the incumbent several times.
“Don’t ever think because we are going for incumbent, I have defeated incumbents several times. If we focus our mind and we have faith and when you have faith, anything can be done.”
Speaking at the National Party Secretariat in Wadata Plaza, Abuja while addressing party members, he said all hands must be on deck to deliver Melaye as the next governor of Kogi State in the November 11 governorship election.
“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, and success stories. By doing so I’m anointing all the members here so that we can and get Kogi.
“Don’t ever think because we are going for incumbent, 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 the West in Osun State, 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. We want to have a beautiful election.”
Dino Melaye in his remarks 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.
