Dino does not have what it takes to be a Governor- Wike
Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor has stated that Dino Melaye of Kogi State does not have what it takes to be a Governor.
The sitting governor of Rivers State rubbished the alleged governorship ambition of Dino Melaye to contest under the People’s Democratic Party.
Wike disclose this during a live media chat with selected journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
He stated, “Why would Kogi people say they would vote for a candidate like Dino? Are we joking?
For Wike, the mere fact that someone is from a place does not equate to electoral success if such a person contests an election.
“Dino does not have what it takes [to be a governor] for crying out loud,” Wike maintained.
“He knows me very well. He does not have what it takes to be a governor.”
Wike added that if the PDP gives the ticket to Melaye, the party is doomed to lose the exercise.
Furthermore, he noted that he won’t campaign for the PDP if the party gives its governorship ticket to the former Kogi lawmaker.
When asked if he would campaign for the main opposition party if Dino wins the ticket, Wike said, “Do you need to ask me that kind of question? Are you not aware that I would not do that?”
Accusing the PDP leadership of trying to “manipulate” the process in favor of Melaye, Wike said, “Why are you trying to manipulate this in favor of one aspirant?”
