Melaye made this vow while addressing supporters at the PDP governorship campaign flag-off at Okene, Kogi state on Tuesday.


He stated, “Kogi State, we are too blessed to be poor. We are going to restore Ajaokuta Steel by the grace of God. Ajaokuta Steel was established by the late President Shagari. Shehu Shagari is not from Kogi State, not even from the North Central, yet he came to establish the Ajaokuta and Itakpe Iron Ore.


“In our government, we’ll do everything possible; if possible, we will do a takeover from the Federal Government. Ajaokuta, during our time, must work. We must make sure Itakpe Iron Ore is booming again,” he added.


The Kogi state governorship election has been scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 11.


Former Senate President Bukola Saraki, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State stormed the PDP’s campaign flag-off.


Saraki announced his arrival via his X page (formerly known as Twitter) @bukolasaraki on Tuesday.


Melaye and Saraki arrived in Kogi state with several chieftains of the main opposition party.


Melaye, is a leading candidate under the platform of People's Democratic Party, (PDP).
