Dino Melaye's clownish politics has made him unmarketable - APC jabs PDP

Ahead of the November 11 governorship election in Kogi State, the APC and the PDP have been caught in heated exchange of words.

On Wednesday, August 23, the All Progressives Congress chieftain, Zachaeus Michael, ridiculed the Peoples Democratic Party.

He described them as an empty shell with zero chances of winning in the Kogi gubernatorial election or defeating Ahmed Ododo, governorship candidate of Kogi state under the ruling APC.

His comment comes following statement made by PDP Governor, Ademola Adeleke on Tuesday, that the PDP guber candidate, Dino Melaye will unseat the APC in the state.

Adeleke while expressing his confidence in the PDP said; “Forget the fact that we are going against an incumbent, I have defeated incumbents several times; if we focus our mind and we have faith anything can be done. We must believe in what we are doing.

“I am bringing you the template of IMOLE from Osun State. I am bringing with me the secrets of hard work and success stories,” the governor said at the inaugural meeting of the PDP Campaign Council in Abuja.

Responding to Adeleke’s comment, APC chieftain Michael said, “Kogi State is not Osun. Governor Yahaya Bello has a lot of visible achievements to showcase that will make the APC win overwhelmingly.

“On the other hand, the PDP is an empty shell. All the PDP leaders and members have all joined the APC. I wondered how the PDP will win when it has no structure, not even a single individual who can lead the party in the state in leadership.”

He added, “The PDP candidate is not marketable, his clownish politics has made him unmarketable and unsaleable.

“The scenario in Kogi is different from Osun State. The last governorship contest in Osun was one between the APC and APC, but in Kogi State, the APC is formidable with water tight followership.

“The APC will trounce the PDP silly. The PDP candidate will not come fourth in the forthcoming November governorship election,” he added.
