The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kogi, Senator Dino Melaye, has raised the alarm over an alleged plan to unleash thugs on voters during the November 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, Melaye said the thugs would be brought into Kogi state from Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo states. He said fake police and army uniforms had been given to the thugs so residents could not easily detect them.“We implore security agencies to take immediate note of these issues. We demand a free and fair election where the vote of every Kogite will count. The tide is clearly in our favour as the people are solidly behind us.
“I want to tell you that when I said that we are going to defend our votes and defend our people, we will do that within the ambit of the law. I can assure you that we will defend our votes this time around.“We want Governor Yahaya Bello to know that we are already aware that he is bringing another set of thugs and hoodlums from Ijebu, Ogun state, to be led by one Alfa Nojeem Agbebi.
