Sen. Dino Melaye Replies Gov. Nyesom Wike Over His Recent Scathing Attack.
By Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr.
Senator Dino Melaye, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Kogi State, has slammed Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike for a recent remark about him.
Recall that, Governor Wike told journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday that the former lawmaker is ineligible to be Governor of Kogi State.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Dino said Wike’s annoyance with him has to do with his (Dino’s) inability to support the governor’s presidential ambition.
According to Dino, Wike ought to be planning how to survive after he quits the government house on May 29.
The statement reads in part, “I can understand the pain of Wike. He wanted my support for his misplaced aspiration to become the Flagbearer of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2023 Presidential election but knowing his avowed credential to be eminently unworthy of the ticket, I deployed support for His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, a cosmopolitan and cultured statesman who ignored all the tantrums of Wike throughout the period of the election.
“Wike has probably mistaken me for His Excellency Atiku Abubakar. He needs to appreciate that now that he has touched the tiger’s tail and murdered sleep, the discomfort of a bird perched on a rope has now become his portion.
