Melaye made the declaration on Saturday, 1 of June, 2019, in Ayetoro-Gbede his country home in Kogi state while formally informing the People Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in his constituency.
Melaye told them that “by the grace of God I will emerge the next Kogi Governor.”

Melaye has been courting the acquittance of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike who has been playing national roles in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
