The lawmaker who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District between 2015 and 2019, Dino Melaye, has lamented that Nigerians are tired of hunger and insecurity.
He stated that the citizenry now sees the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a credible alternative to liberate themselves.
Melaye made this known while departing Kafas Multi-purpose Hall, Lokongoma, Lokoja, after the suspension of the official rally of the Kogi State chapter of ADC.
The North Central zone of ADC, led by Senator Tunde Ogbeha, had announced a suspension of the scheduled political rally in honour of late President Buhari.
Speaking in an interview with newsmen after the aborted rally, Melaye said, “Nigerians are tired of managing an incompetent government. Nigeria are tired of excuses from the government over insecurity, it is time to kill hunger and insecurity before they kill us.
“The turnout you see today is just the introduction, after this moment of mourning for our late President Buhari, we will return to unveil ADC in Kogi state formally. Even the handwriting on the wall is clear to the blind that the days of the APC in political governance in Nigeria are over. The party to liberate Nigerians is here; ADC is the answer. Just keep watching.”
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State in 2015, Idris Wada, said, “It’s my pleasure to use this unveiling ceremony to announce my membership of ADC in Kogi State, and I’m fully prepared to mobilise all citizens of Kogi State to join this coalition.”
