Yomi Awoniyi, a former deputy governor of Kogi State, has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primary poll that resulted in Dino Melaye being a candidate for governor.

Melaye’s emergence as a PDP governorship contender, according to Awoniyi, is worrisome.

Awoniyi emphasized the lack of legitimacy of the primary election and asserted that Melaye’s votes came from a tainted delegate list.

A statement by Awoniyi said: “Without an iota of doubt, I make bold to say that Senator Melaye’s victory is a pyrrhic one.

“This victory portends great danger to the unity of our party and the prospect of winning the November 11 governorship election.

“The primary that threw up Senator Melaye was flawed; 158 delegates, who emerged from the state ad hoc congress of March 29, 2023, were replaced by the woeful Senator Abdul Ningi Congress Committee, working in concert with Melaye’s enablers within the party hierarchy at the highest level.”

Awoniyi contended that it was unreasonable to award a candidate 158 votes when there were eight other aspirants competing for 739 votes.
