The
senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has again accused the state
government of planning to assassinate him on March 8 or 9.
Melaye,
who emerged the winner of last Saturday’s senatorial election made the
allegation in a message posted on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday.
He
however boasted that the alleged assassination plan would fail.
“Kogi
State Government is planning to attack me on the March 8 or 9. You will fail as
always. God is my defence at all times. Nigerians take note,” he wrote.
However,
the Director-General, Media, Publicity and Strategy to the Governor, Kingsley
Fanwo, said there was no truth in the allegation.
Fanwo
said, “The allegation is false and unfounded. He should follow up the
allegations with proofs if he wants to be taken seriously. That is what men of
integrity do.
He
said, “We have decided not to respond to such blackmail and mind games by him.
How can you allege a government is trying to assassinate you? It is spurious
and unintelligent.”
“Our
efforts on securing lives and property have been hailed globally. He campaigned
here in Kogi State freely. Nobody attacked him.”
