A group under the auspices of the White Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria has ordered Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, to either meet with them or be prepared to “lose” the election.
The group’s spokesperson, Dr Okhue Oboi, issued the advise in a statement over the weekend, ahead of the Kogi gubernatorial election in November 2023.
The statement reads in part; “We have met with the Igala, Ebira and Yoruba population in the state. We met Igala people in Idah, Ebira people in Obehira and Yoruba people in Kabba and listened to them.
“We advise Dino Melaye to see us if he is desirous of realising his governorship dream. If he listens to our advice, he will laugh because the trees and waters of the confluence state will vote for him regardless of whether Governor Wike supports him or not.
“It will be in Melaye’s interest to see us too so he can smile. If he fails to see the witches and wizards, he will regret it because he will not win the election,” the statement added.
