Kogi Guber: I can understand your pain, you wanted my support to become the party flagbearer in the 2023 Presidential election but I gave it to Atiku – Dino Melaye lashes back at Wike

Former Kogi State Lawmaker and Governorship aspirant, Dino Melaye has lashed back at Nysom Wike of Rivers State for saying he is not fit to be the Governor of Kogi state

Wike who addressed journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday claimed that the former lawmaker cannot be Governor of Kogi State adding that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP will lose if Dino is given the ticket

Reacting to this, Dino said Wike’s rift with him was birthed by his (Dino) inability to support the governor’s presidential ambition.

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.
