Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship aspirant for the upcoming Kogi election, Senator Dino Melaye, has accused Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike of attacking him due to his lack of support for Wike’s presidential ambitions.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Melaye responded to Wike’s recent comment claiming that Melaye cannot be Governor of Kogi State.
Melaye retorted that Wike should be focusing on his own future after leaving the government house on May 29.
Melaye further explained that Wike had sought his support for his presidential aspirations, but Melaye had chosen to support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar instead, due to Wike’s unworthiness for the PDP ticket.
Melaye emphasized that Wike’s actions had consequences, and he should now face the discomfort of his own making, comparing it to a bird perched on a rope.
Melaye had declared his interest in the Kogi governorship race on March 29, scheduled to take place on November 11, 2023.
