Senator Dino Melaye Denies Planning To Be Idris Wada’s Deputy

Senator Dino Melaye has denied plans to contest the governorship race in Kogi State as the deputy to a former governor of the state, Idris Wada.

The lawmaker, who is favourite to clinch the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the election in November, said in a statement on Thursday by his media aide, Gideon Ayodele, that the rumour was meant to stop his emergence as the party’s governorship candidate.

“Capt. Idris Wada lost the last election as a sitting governor and it makes no sense that Dino Melaye, a man with better idea and clearer vision, will queue behind such an aspirant,” the statement said.

PDP will on September 3 hold its governorship primary.

Governor Yahaya Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has already won the bid to seek re-election.
