5 REASONS WHY DINO MELAYE CAN NOT WIN GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION.



1. Lack of Trust and Credibility: Dino Melaye has a history of controversial statements, actions, and behavior, which has negatively impacted his public image. Many voters may find it difficult to trust and believe in his ability to lead effectively as a governor. The trust deficit could significantly hamper his chances of winning the governorship election.

2. Governance Track Record: Melaye's previous experience as a legislator does not directly translate to executive leadership. Voters  question his ability to effectively manage the complex responsibilities of a governor, voters may be hesitant to support his candidacy due to lack of human capital, voters does not have any significant reference for human development in his previous leadership positions. 

3. Political Instability: Melaye has frequently changed political parties throughout his career and has been associated with different factions for selfish interests. Such inconsistency and lack of political stability may make voters skeptical about his commitment to serving their interests and may question his ability to bring about stable governance.

4. Source of his wealth: propaganda/ tarnishing people’s image is his source of wealth. 

5. Opposition from Incumbent Party: If Melaye is running against a strong incumbent candidate from a well-established political party, he may face significant challenges. The ruling party's machinery and resources, coupled with the advantages of incumbency, can make it difficult for an opposition candidate like Melaye to gather the necessary support and momentum to win the election.

AYETORO GBEDE YOUTHS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE

A FORMAL  DECLARATION OF OUR SUPPORT FOR ODODO/OYIBO MANDATE 2023.

In the pursuit of the GOVERNORSHIP AMBITION in our dear Kogi state.

Gentlemen of the press, political stakeholders, youths and women groups.

We have had the privilege of closely observing Alhaji Ahmed Usman ODODO's dedication, skills, and commitment to our shared goals and unity of kogi state, and we wholeheartedly believe they are the ideal, capable and most qualified candidate for this position that will lead Kogi state to the promise land come November 11, 2023.

We are confident that with ODODO/OYIBO at the helm, we will continue to prosper and make significant strides towards our collective goals. 

Alh. Ododo's passion, integrity, and ability to collaborate effectively made him the best choice for THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF KOGI STATE. 

We are ready and fully prepared to work alongside Alh. Ododo's vision for the greatness  of Kogi state.

We believe that his leadership will inspire and empower all indigenous people of Aiyetoro Gbede, Ijumu local government and the entire state at large.

And we also declare that DINO MALEYE IS NOT A THREAT IN THIS GOVERNORSHIP RACE.

The Aiyetoro youth  for Good Governance will continue to work and support the achievements  of Governor Bello and canvass and vote for Alh. Usman ododo. 

To us, Governance is not on Arise TV, Channel  television nor with constant posting of activities on social media, we believe  Governance is about giving back to the people, Community development, mobilizing support at the grass root and a responsibility of every citizens of the state. 

Tarnishing the image of the state for his desperation, selfish interest and "kalo kalo" politics with different forms of jam-boring activities  is only making ODODO/OYIBO MORE POPULAR in this race. 

We want to assure Kogi youth and most importantly IJUMU Local government Youths  that we will continue to be part of Kogi great project.  

We reaffirm our unalloyed support for Governor Yahaya Bello and his cabinet and great support for Ododo/Oyibo victory ahead of  November 11, 2023. 

We kindly request that you consider our declaration of support for Alh. Ododo's mandate  as a testament of a strong candidacy for the Governor of Kogi State and we are fully committed to work in all the nook and cranny of our local government to win for ODODO for the purpose of collectiveness of his vision for the state.
