Atiku Abubakar's spokesperson Dino Melaye, according to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, is ineligible to serve as governor of Kogi State.

If Melaye won the PDP's nomination for governor, Wike forewarned that the party would collapse.

Speaking to the media in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, Wike emphasized that the former Kogi West Senator lacked the skills necessary to lead a 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".

Melaye joined the Kogi State governor's contest last week as the PDP prepared to hold its primary election over there.
