The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has made a strong allegation against Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, and his campaign’s Director-General, Smart Adeyemi, of supposedly plotting the arrest of Dino Melaye before the November 16 Kogi elections.
PDP said the plot was allegedly conceived on Monday during a meeting at the Government House.
Gideon Ayodele, Who is Melaye’s media aide, on Tuesday said Bello and Adeyemi with some other All Progressives Congress’ (APC) stakeholders in the state had concluded arrangement to ensure that Melaye was arrested and detained before the elections in November.
The statement read, “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.”
The governor’s Director-General of Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo, said it was not the governor’s responsibility to arrest offenders.
Fanwo 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.”
