Former Kogi governors Captain Idris Wada and Alhaji Ibrahim Idris have endorsed Senator Dino Melaye as the state’s next governor.

The duo expressed their unwavering vote of confidence in Senator Melaye’s leadership.

Senator Melaye is contesting to be the state’s governor under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Captain Wada and Alhaji Idris stated that Senator Melaye embodies the transformative leadership that Kogi State desperately needs.
