Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Kogi State, on Thursday, claimed that he survived four assassination attempts in the state.
Melaye blamed the attempts on
the All Progressives Congress, APC, stressing that violence is in the DNA of
the party.
He disclosed this while
featuring on Arise Television.
The former Kogi West Senator
said tension has been part of the lives of the Kogi people since the APC came
into power seven years ago.
According to Melaye: “I have
survived four assassination attempts; I have had 12 court cases of FG vs. Dino
Melaye, and I have been attacked severally. It is not new, as it is in the DNA
of the APC to be violent.
“Kogi State is like an evil
forest that needs instantaneous redevelopment and needs a messiah.”
The former senator said he
hopes to be instrumental in ameliorating the pains of those living in the
state.
He further said it has never
been this bad in the history of Kogi, as the state is more divided than at any
other time in its history.
