He alleged that the targeted politicians are basically from the Kogi Central senatorial district, adding that if anything happened to any of the four politicians, the APC government in the state should be held responsible.
Melaye accused APC of trying to assassinate four of his supporters
The allegation is coming a few days before the election, where Melaye and the PDP are already campaigning to take over the mantle of the state's leadership from the ruling APC.
The election has been described as a keen contest between the ruling APC, PDP, and the Social Democratic Party (SDP). While Melaye is contesting under the umbrella of the PDP, Usman Ododo is campaigning on the platform of the APC, while Yakubu Murtala Ajaka is the flagbearer of the SDP.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has published the list of 18 candidates for the election but Melaye appeared to be the strongest opposition against the ruling party candidate, particularly with the victory of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in the Kogi Central senatorial district.
