Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has addressed the threat surrounding his return as Governor of the State, following Senator Dino Mela...
Bello, who spoke with Newsmen, at the Kebbi State Governor’s Lodge, in the Asokoro Area of Abuja, shortly after the Progressives Governors’ Forum, on Sunday night, dismissed the threat by Dino Melaye to unseat him, as a none issue.
He expressed confidence of emerging as winner of the forthcoming Governorship election in the State, stating that, to prevail over him at the Governorship election, Dino Melaye must be prepared to pass through the eye of the needle.
The Governor said: “In Kogi State, we know the election is coming up, and of course, a lot of people will come out for the challenge. But the reality is that we are on ground. From within the party, to the general election, we are not just talking of victory, we are talking of the margin of the victory of APC, over any other party that will come next, because of what we have been able to do in the stage delivering on all our promises.
“You are going to see election like never before. Kogi election is going to be as smooth as anything, and we are very confident of victory.”
On Senator Melaye posing threat to his re-election, Bello said: “Anytime you talk, we should talk of somebody that is good. Apart from that person you are talking of, let him justify the mandate given to him, by showing his people what he has done. For him to come and challenge me, means that he is ready to pass through the eye of the needle.”
