Senator Dino Melaye has made a counter attack on the Rivers State Governor, Nyesome Wike for scorning him (Melaye) over ambition for governorship race in Kogi State.
Wike had said Melaye did not have the pedigree for governorship and his ambition is laughable.
Reacting in an interview, Melaye called Wike a pretentious character, adding that he called him (Melaye) 19 times in just 2 hours to intervene before Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, to pick him (Wike) as VP candidate.
Melaye said, ‘Already he is on his way to prison. Infact, Wike’s prison uniform will have embroidery because of the way he has stolen the resources and patrimony of the Rivers people.
‘I am sitting down here, any other interview if it’s not what he is asked outside Kogi State and leave Dino Melaye alone, my primary business is other people’s businesses.
‘If I open my can of worms and maggots on Wike, but I am waiting for him. His territory that he is trying to practice is my own primary Constituency.
‘Wike is a pretentious character, he is a liar and has he has no integrity, no iota of integrity.
‘Wike was calling me when Atiku Abubakar was to announce his running mate, I have records and I printed it out and waiting for him.
‘He called me 19 times in 2 hours, begging us to convince Atiku Abubakar to make him the Vice Presidential Candidate. So, when I see him lying on TV, “because of the South of this Country, because of Southern Nigeria, the thing must go to South.”
‘You that were lobbying us, begging us and promising us heaven and earth to speak on his favour.’
