In a swift reaction, Melaye said he had formerly informed the police command of his coming to the state to inaugurate his various projects in seven local government councils.
The senator representing Kogi West
senatorial district is expected to inaugurate the projects in all the
seven local government councils of the state starting
from Wednesday to Friday this week.
The political thugs, who made their intention known through an unsigned
pamphlet distributed yesterday at the naming ceremony of the Lokoja
administrator, Hon. Shiru Lawal, said Kogi State is no go area for the
senator.
The pamphlet read thus: “Dino don’t patronize Kogi State. “Stay away else you have yourself to blame. Save yourself and remain where you are. Keep off from our land.
“Dino come and reap what you sowed. You don’t respect our leaders so we don’t respect you. Respect is reciprocal!
“Take what you get, and if you dare us, expect the worse, we have warned you.”
“Dino come and reap what you sowed. You don’t respect our leaders so we don’t respect you. Respect is reciprocal!
“Take what you get, and if you dare us, expect the worse, we have warned you.”
Meanwhile, Melaye has said he formerly
wrote the police and other security agents of his coming to the state
for the inauguration of projects.
He told our source that he goal was to empower his immediate constituency by embarking on various projects.
The lawmaker added that he would be in
the state for the “meaningful projects across all the seven local
government councils,” stressing that as far he is concern, nobody can
prevent him from visiting his state.
However, when our source called on the Public Relation Officer of the Kogi State Police Command, Mr. William Ayah, over the alleged threat, he said his command is aware of his coming but not that of the pamphlet distributed by unknown person or people.
Ayah also added that nobody reported any such issue to the command, stating that if they have any privileged information on the matter, they will surely take action.
