The Kogi state governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dino Melaye has advised Governor Yahaya Bello and the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Murtala Yakubu Ajaka to not heat up the polity ahead of the November 11th election in the state.
Melaye gave the advice on the heels of Saturday’s clash of convoys, which both Bello and Ajaka have traded blames.
Reacting to the development, Melaye urged the federal government to ensure those involved are brought to book regardless of how highly placed they may be.
The PDP candidate condemned the clash between Bello and Murtala and urged both parties to eschew violence as peace is important to the people of Kogi.
“I am still being briefed about the details of the attack. I am aware that both the Governor and the SDP candidate’s team are trading blame over the attack. If the reports are anything to go by; I, Senator Dino Melaye, the Kogi State Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemn in the strongest sense of it, such incidence.
“I call on both Governor Yahaya Bello and the SDP candidate not to heat up Kogi State with any chaos or crisis. The peace of Kogi State is paramount at all times,” he said.
