Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Dino Melaye, who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District, during the 8th National Assembly, has indicated an interest in the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

The former lawmaker made this known in a campaign poster captioned \u201cno more stealing and killings\u201d, tweeted on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the move came barely a month after Atiku Abubakar was defeated in the presidential election.<\/p>\n

Melaye was one of the spokespersons for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Campaign Council, PCC, during Atiku\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n

Atiku of the PDP was, however, defeated by the current president-elect, Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Dino had, in May 2022, battled for the senatorial ticket under PDP but lost to Hon. T.J Yusuf.<\/p>\n
