The leader of the progressives in the last House of Representatives, Comrade Dino Melaye, is said to be lobbying Prince Abubakar Audu and leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) so as to be the deputy governorship aspirant in the forthcoming December governorship elections.

It will be recalled that the hyper active politician lost his re-election bid to Hon. Tajudeen Yusuf in the last national assembly elections and also had his suit against Yusuf struck out at the tribunal on technical grounds.

Given that the present Speaker of the Kogi State assembly is from the central senatorial district, rumours are rife with the ACN political circles that Dr Moses Wokil (Audu’s running mate designate in ANPP) will be dropped for a politician from the Western senatorial district and Dino is said to be in pole position to get the slot.

Dino is not alone in the race. One of the governorship aspirants under the ACN, Chief Obadofin, is also reported to be interested in slot.

If the party agrees to pick running mate from the west, Dino might likely emerge given his robust relationship with the leading aspirant in ACN, Prince Abubakar Audu.
