A group under the auspices of White Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria has urged the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state, Dino Melaye, to either see them or be ready to “lose” the poll.
The group’s spokesperson, Dr Okhue Oboi gave the advice in a statement on Saturday, April 29, 2023.
“We have met with the Igala, Ebira and Yoruba population in the state. We met Igala people in Idah, Ebira people in Obehira and Yoruba people in Kabba and listened to them.
“We advise Dino Melaye to see us if he is desirous of realising his governorship dream. If he listens to our advice, he will laugh because the trees and waters of the confluence state will vote for him regardless of whether Governor Wike supports him or not.
“It will be in Melaye’s interest to see us too so he can smile. If he fails to see the witches and wizards, he will regret it because he will not win the election,” the statement partly read.
Senator Dino Melaye was declared the winner of the PDP gubernatorial primary in Kogi State on April 16, 2023, having polled 313 votes to defeat his closet rival Idoko Ilonah who scored 124 votes.
He will be contesting against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Usman Ododo and others in the election scheduled to hold November 2023.
