Dino Melaye, a spokesman for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has been rejected as governorship candidate of the party for Kogi State elections by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

If Melaye won the PDP’s nomination for governor, Wike forewarned that the party would fail at the elections on a media Channels TV .

Wike underlined that the former Kogi West Senator had no capacity to lead a state in a speech to a small group of media in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.

According to Wike: “If you give Dino the governorship ticket, you know he will fail; there is no way he can win. Why will Kogi people say they would vote for a candidate like Dino?

“People can’t vote for Dino because he is from Kogi; Dino does not have what it takes to govern the state or be a governor. It’s not by coming on television to act drama or insult Wike.”

Last week, Melaye joined the Kogi State governorship race as PDP prepares to hold its primary election in the state.
