PDP governorship candidate in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, on Politics Today, Monday, October 16, 2023,


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Kogi State Dino Melaye says one of his plans is to recruit graduates to boost the state’s agricultural sector.

He made the comment on Monday when he was featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“We are going to work on agriculture. We are going to work on mechanised agriculture. We are going to go into plantation agriculture. We are going to have farmhouses. We are going to recruit our graduates into agriculture,” he said.

While lamenting the state of education in the Confluence State, Melaye promised to revamp the sector if he wins the November 11 election.

“After working on our economy, we are going to work on our education. As I speak with you today, apart from Ekiti State, we have the highest number of professors in this country yet our universities are like glorified secondary schools. Today, there is no functional primary school in Kogi State – no teachers,” Melaye maintained.

“Education is the bane of our development as a people. We are going to work on it. We are going to introduce ICT. We are going to work on the curriculum from primary school to our universities.”

‘First Responsibility’
He also pledged to unite the people.

“My first responsibility would be to unite our people and that is why the slogan of my campaign is: One Kogi, One Destiny,” the former lawmaker added.

The PDP candidate also accused Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State of running a proxy third term via the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Ahmed Ododo.

“Don’t be deceived that Yahaya Bello is not on the ballot. Ododo is physically on the ballot but Yahaya Bello is the one seeking a third term through a proxy [Ododo].

“I will not want this debate to be about Yahaya Bello, rather I would like to market my political party and market what we have for Kogi State,” he said.

Whats the problem of SW and their minions



Their obsession for corn cassava and bush meat

jumper524:
the greatest problem of this country are saboteurs.
this is a good and positive innovation.

I think the Buhari era worked on agriculture, infrastructure and security.
he improved these sectors with findings and equipment but then again, he failed woefully in dealing with saboteurs even in his own political cycle to the point a minister could scam the country of Nigeria airways in Buhari's own eyes.

this country needs rugged and stubborn political comrades who are difficult to bend.
sadly tinubu only has wike within his cycle.
the saboteurs succeeded in pushing elrufai away.

Hello, Sorry For Interrupting Your Moving Train... Kogi Is In Middle Belt--North Central Meaning It Is A Northern State. Can't We Do Without Stereotyping?

Did you see where I wrote Minions?



Do you realize 70% of kogites speak Yoruba

Ogamysamo:

what is the population of igala speaking people of kogi, or what is that of the igbira? so where is your 70% coming from?
or are you saying atleast 50% of the igalas and igbiras in kogi speaks yoruba?

Taylor94:



My brother no mind me oo


Never been to Kogi neither do I know anyone from there


I only concluded they’re more of Yoruba because Tunde Ednut and Dino Melaye speaks Yoruba
