Yeye Bello is a goner.

They have regrouped now to fight Yahaya Bello. Who will believe Dino Melaye will lose the governorship ticket under PDP. Online support can deceive

That is the best thing PDP can do to defeat the incubent Gov Yahaya Bello. Those of us who know Kogi well have said it before that Dino dont have any chance to cling PDP primary where there are plenty Igala candidates in the same race. Forget the online popularity of Dino, that do not produce votes in an ethnic thriving sentiment environment like Kogi state where Dino happen to come from minority of the ethnic group.

anyimontana:
Bello won't like dis cos the fight go come tough

Tough, you must be joking,Bello will win in a landslide,at the end of the day the Igala’s will collect allocation and money, and turn on Wada,since everyone knows that after Bello,the igala’s will claim the Governorship,4 years isn’t that long.

Same scenario happened in Delta state,with Great Ogboru and Ifeanyi Okowa,Ogboru from the majority tribe,Governor Okowa from the minority, end of the day,the Urhobos agreed to wait for 4 years,for the Governorship to rotate back to them.

I actually feel Dino had a better chance of winning than this wada

Not at all. Dino is from the minority yoruba ethnic group called Okun in Kogi state. Wada is from the Igala ethnic group in Kogi and they are the largest. You know politics of sentiment is still very much prevalent in Nigeria and that is what happened. Late Abubakar Audu that died before the Governorship mandate was unjustly given to Yahaya Bello, is an Igala man. Therefore, u find a situation where the Igala people felt they have been out of power of an election their son (Audu) won for the past 4 years. So I knew from the beginning that an Igala man will win the PDP primary and that man is the next Governor of Kogi state. So Dino also as an experienced politician knew that his best belt is to align with the Wada that won the PDP primary so as to be relevant. The fact is whether Dino unite with Wada/PDP or not, PDP will win and Wada will become the Governor. So it is wise for Dino to unite with Wada in order not to go into political oblivion in Kogi State.

Was there no federal might when Wike of PDP won in Rivers and Okowa of PDP won in Delta. The same thing also happened in Sokoto. You have to understand Kogi politics well. I will remind you when PDP win. The fact is if PDP made the mistake of producing any candidate such as Dino which is outside Igala ethnic group, they would lose. In other words, if APC and PDP produce candidates that are outside Igala, non of those candidate will win and if FRESH party or the newest party produce an Igala man to contest, the Igala man of that FRESH party will win. so Forget this Federal might thing oo. The Federal might that could not influence the Yahaya Bello to pay salary of workers in a state that is fully a civil servant state will come and win election for Yahaya Bello? No way!

Some section of Kogi State feel it's their birthright to rule the state and so they will do all within their powers to remove someone outside their ethnic jurisdiction. What a shame! This is what you'll find in states with different ethnic groups. Tomorrow we'll accuse SA of xenophobia while Nigerians exude ethnophobic tendencies, especially Kogi (Igalas). You guys should please Grow up!
