Senator Dino Melaye, the gubernatorial candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, has once again criticized Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Melaye recently won the PDP ticket for the upcoming gubernatorial election on November 11th.
The clash between the two politicians began when Governor Wike opposed Melaye’s candidacy for the Kogi State governorship. During a media chat in Port Harcourt on April 11th, Wike stated that Melaye was not qualified to be Governor of Kogi State.
In response, Melaye, who is a former federal lawmaker, linked Wike’s disagreement with him to the governor’s inability to obtain the PDP’s presidential nomination in 2022 and Atiku Abubakar’s failure to select him as his running mate.
During an appearance on Arise Television on Wednesday, Melaye referred to Wike as a drug and alcohol-addicted individual, claiming that he had no time to discuss someone of that caliber. Melaye went on to claim that Wike’s conduct was motivated by post-election trauma.
He said, “Wike is one who is about to be taken off the shelf so I will not bother myself discussing with a man who is about leaving the office and is suffering from post-election trauma.
“I want to concentrate seriously on my election and how to rescue the people of Kogi State.
“I do not have time actually for a drug and alcoholic induced individual”.
