A Governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) for the Kogi State election, Senator Dino Melaye, has tackled Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, for mocking his political ambition.
Wike, while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday said that Dino does not have what it takes to Govern Kogi State.
Wike laughed at Dino’s governorship ambition. To him, it seems the PDP is joking. He insists that his party would loose the election if Dino got the ticket.
Why Wike Is Angry
Reacting to Wike’s statement, Melaye says the Rivers Governor’s opinion was birthed from a personal vendetta against him.
He alleged that Wike was angry because he refused to support his presidential ambition.
The former lawmaker advised Wike to focus on how he would survive after he leaves the government house on May 29.
“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.

“Atiku is 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.
