The senator representing Kogi west district at the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has officially declared for the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi state.

In a video addressing the people of the state, Melaye expressed readiness to take the residents out of poverty.

"I stand before you not to declare my ambition to be governor of Kogi state, but the ambition of the people of Kogi state.

But if I do so, I would simply negate everything you have known me for," he said in the video.

He, however, said he cannot look away when poverty continues to ravage the state as if it does not have the resources for development.

"If I look away, then I am not the Dino you've come to know," he added. Legit.ng earlier reported that Senator Dino Melaye said that he will be elected the Kogi state governor in the forthcoming gubernatorial poll scheduled for November 2019.

Melaye, representing Kogi west in the Senate had recently declared his ambition to vie for the governorship seat of Kogi under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
