As its candidate for the Kogi State governorship election on November 11, the Labour Party has endorsed Senator Dino Melaye of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Melaye announced the news on his X (formerly Twitter) profile on Friday. He stated that the partnership aimed to free Kogi State from the oppressive regime of Governor Yahaya Bello, which was run by the APC.
“After a wide consultation and in the interest of our dear State, the Labour Party on this day has resolved to adopt the PDP Gubernatorial Candidate, Senator Dino Melaye as its candidate for the November 11th Kogi State Governorship Election,” Melaye said.
Melaye will face off against other candidates, including Ahmed Ododo of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
