The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Kogi West Elders’ Forum, KWEF, has
said it will vehemently reject any
attempt to impose Senator Dino
Melaye
as the sole senatorial candidate of the
party in 2019.
Chairman of the Forum,
Shaibu Momoh said this while
speaking after they met yesterday in
Lokoja, the state capital, to deliberate
on Melaye’s official planned defection
to PDP.
This development comes amidst Dino’s
planned
defection to the party anytime soon.
Speaking on behalf of the elders,
Momoh said if Melaye was allowed to
contest in any free and fair election in
the state now, the party would
be defeated. Momoh said Melaye will
be a liability and not an asset to the
former ruling party in the state.
He said, “Melaye is seen as too
controversial and his unacceptable
behaviors are the serious negative
views of the public against him. He
cannot win any election in a free and
fair atmosphere and PDP should
therefore not
gamble with him as a candidate for
now. “He needs a serious reformation
period which PDP Kogi state do not
have the luxury of time
to dispense.
“The leadership of PDP in the state
under the two former governors of the
state, Alhaji
Ibrahim Idris, Captain Idris Wada,
senator Tunde Ogbeha Alhaji Musa
Ahmadu and host of other critical
stakeholders have been struggling to
rebrand a PDP that can recapture
power from
an aggressive non-performing
government of APC in the state.
“They have reconciled several
prominent strong men and women
who came back to the party and their
re-entrance back to PDP is without any
condition or concession but genuine.
Imposition of a Senatorial candidate
will cause a major derailment and
unimaginable crisis that PDP may not
overcome before the general election.
“The critical leaders are on ground
and they understand this great danger
and trap, hence their rejection of this
Dino imposition.
“Senator Dino Melaye is welcome to
PDP as specified under the
Constitution of the party. He is free to
aspire to any position of his choice
but must take cognisance of existing
mutual arrangement.
“He will not be discriminated against
in any form in the conduct of the
affairs in the state. He should come
into the party with genuine open mind
and contribute meaningfully to
growth of the PDP like any other
senior member of the party”.
