“Wike Was Chief Of Staff To Amaechi But He Did Not Trust Him Enough To Hand Over To Him” – Dino Melaye Fires Back At Wike For Mocking Atiku

“Wike Was Chief Of Staff To Amaechi But He Did Not Trust Him Enough To Hand Over To Him” – Dino Melaye Fires Back At Wike For Mocking Atiku

Senator Dino Melaye, the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential Campaign Council, has responded to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike’s comments on former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Labour Party’s Peter Obi for the 2023 presidential election.

Obasanjo had asked Nigerians to vote for the former Anambra State Governor over his former vice Atiku Abubakar in a lengthy letter on New Year’s Day. In response to this, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike said on Monday that Obasanjo’s choice of Obi over Atiku indicates that “something fundamentally wrong” has occurred.

“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,” Wike said.

Melaye, on the other hand, slammed the Rivers State Governor, accusing him of disrespect and unwarranted insult on the former vice president, whose only crime he claimed was beating Wike to the PDP presidential ticket in May 2022.

“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,” Melaye said in a statement.

He added, “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.”
