The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the governorship elections, Dino Melaye has accused Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi of seeking a third term.

According to Melaye, Bello was seeking a third term hiding under the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Ahmed Ododo.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, Melaye opined that Bello was using Ododo to achieve his term because he can’t be on the ballot.

He insisted that Ododo would be a figurehead if elected because the outgoing governor will still be calling the shots.

“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.

“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,” Melaye said.
