Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has rubbished the aspiration of Senator Dino Melaye to govern Kogi State, saying it’s dead on arrival.
Melaye is one of the top contenders for the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the November 11, 2023, Kogi state gubernatorial poll.
The Senator’s candidacy has been laughed off by Wike.
The governor in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday said the controversial Senator is incapable of governing a state and winning election.
His remark: “When you give Dino that ticket, you know he won’t win in Kogi State.
“Why would Kogi people say they would vote for a candidate like Dino? Are we joking?
“Dino does not have what it takes [to be a governor] for crying out loud.
“He knows me very well. He does not have what it takes to be a governor.
“Does it mean now that if the PDP wants to win the election, it would give the ticket to Dino and you say tomorrow that you were rigged when you have already killed yourself?
“Are we saying that we want to win an election or just have a candidate?”
