Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last Kogi state governorship election, Dino Melaye has assured his followers that it’s not the end of the battle despite losing woefully at the poll.
Melaye came a distant third during the just-concluded off-cycle poll last week Saturday election.
Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated Murtala Ajaka of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Melaye in last Saturday’s governorship election.
Condemning the conduct of the election, Melaye had accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of electoral fraud and rigging in favour of the APC candidate.
Melaye urged his followers not to be disenchanted, disillusioned, or perturbed over the outcome of the election.
In a video on his social media page, Melaye said: “Just to encourage all my supporters and lovers all over the country and in Kogi State that please don’t be disenchanted, disillusioned, don’t be perturbed, don’t be disturbed, just carry on because, at the end of the day, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
“Be emboldened, be strong, be determined, and be resolute that we will soon overcome. It is not the end of the battle but we are not going to get worried.”
