The Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has laughed off Senator Dino Melaye’s Kogi governorship ambition, saying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain does not have what it takes to vie for such post.
Wike said that Dino did not have the qualities to become Governor.
He added that if the PDP gives the ticket to the former Kogi West lawmaker, the party is doomed to lose the exercise.
“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,” Wike maintained. “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?” the former minister asked.
