Why Rivers State Governor, Wike Will Be In Jail After His Tenure – Dino

The former federal lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has advised the Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State be more concerned about his post-tenure survival over the mismanagement and embazzlement of state’s resources.

“If Wike were a reflective mind he should now be more concerned about his post-tenure survival, because with the recklessness he exhibited in mismanaging the resources of Rivers State, his prison uniform must have been sewn and his inmate number must be waiting for his allocation. As for me I will not only continue to savour my freedom, I will be sending relief assistance to Wike from Government House Lokoja, by the grace of God,” Dino said in a statement on Wednesday April 12, 2023.

VerseNews Nigeria report that Governor Wike in a media chat with Channels TV said Melaye knows that he does not have what it takes to be a governor of a state, adding that if Kogi people come out to vote for Melaye, it means they do not want development.

Replying to the out-going Givernor, Dino in an interview with ‘Arise TV’ said “Wike’s change towards me is because I refused to participate in his very myopic & intellectually stagnant presidential bid. His agitation for power to return to the South is a bogus lie, Wike called me 19 times in 2 hours lobbying me to influence Atiku to pick him as VP”

He continued; “Today, Wike can take a swipe at me, and mark me down as unqualified to govern my state, but has he forgotten that he believed in my Gubernatorial aspiration in 2019? Can he be reminded that I have served as a member of the Federal House of Representatives and have also been elected twice into the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

“I can understand the pain of Wike. He wanted my support for his misplaced aspiration to become the Flagbearer of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2023 Presidential election, but knowing his avowed credential to be eminently unworthy of the ticket I deployed support for His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, a cosmopolitan and cultured statesman who ignored all the tantrums of Wike throughout the period of the election.

“Wike is probably mistaken me for His Excellency Atiku Abubakar. He needs to appreciate that now that he has touched the tiger’s tail and murdered sleep, the discomfort of a bird perched on a rope has now become his portion.

“The indiscretion and war of attrition embarked on by Wike contributed to the public perception of our great Party. He sees nothing good in the Leadership of the Party, yet he cannot move to another Party, because which Party will accept Wike in his irredeemable state of ignominious liability

“As the good people of Kogi State prepare for the Gubernatorial election, the choice is theirs to make. All the evil machinations and self-destructive conduct of Wike will fail. I have neither sought for nor expected support from Wike. My aspiration is on course.  The least I will spare time is distractions from the contentions of the untamed tongue of Wike. As I move forward, I’m guided by the Scriptural invocation:

“For the Lord God will help Me; therefore, I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.”

“Wike, stay on your lane. I am Daniel Dino Melaye. My speciality is to tame lions, whether they be white or black, dwelling in rocks or floating on Rivers,” he added.
