Ahead of the November governorship election, the White Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria has urged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in Kogi State, Dino Melaye, to consult them ahead of the poll.

The spokesman of the group, Okhue Oboi, asked Melaye to consult the group if he wanted to emerge as the winner of the forthcoming election.

Oboi said they have consulted with the major tribes in Kogi State, adding that it would be in his best interest if he reached out to them.

He, however, warned that the threat by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State may work against Melaye if he fails to consult the witches and wizards.

A statement he signed reads partly: “We met Igala people in Idah, Ebira people in Obehira, and Yoruba people in Kabba and listened to them."

“We advise Melaye to see us if he is desirous of realizing 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 Wike supports him or not.

“If he fails to see the witches and wizards, he will regret it because he will not win the election.”
