The former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye has reacted to the claim of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, that something was wrong with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
As earlier reported by The Informant247, Governor Wike has mocked Atiku over the endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi by former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
The governor said the action of Obasanjo has attested to the fact that something was wrong with Atiku.
He recalled that Atiku served as vice president under the former president from 1999 to 2003.
According to Wike: “I was praying that Obasanjo should not say anything. When I saw the letter last night, I was touched. If your principal cannot recommend you, then there is something fundamentally wrong.”
The spokesperson of the PDP’s presidential campaign council, Melaye has Wike of disrespecting and insulting Atiku.
Melaye said: “Wike should be ashamed that he has constantly solicited the attention of Atiku by his continuous disrespect and unwarranted insult of a man who did nothing to you. Atiku’s only crime is that he won a transparent presidential primary.
“Wike was chief of staff to Amaechi but Amaechi did not trust him enough to hand over to him. I advise him to support whoever he wishes to support as we will no longer tolerate his insolent tendencies.
“The question is; is there something wrong with Wike that Amaechi did not hand over to him? Why will Prince Uche Secondus, Rt Hon. Austin Okpara, Sen. Lee Meaba, H:E Celestine Omehia, Chief Abiye Sikibo, Sen George Sekibo, Hon. Chinyere Igwe, etc, leave him unceremoniously for Atiku. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.”
