Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship
candidate in Kogi State, has claimed that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike,
has granted live coverage more than any other public officer in the world.
Melaye made the claim while appearing on Arise TV’s morning
show on Wednesday.
He described the Rivers governor as an attention seeker.
Melaye said, “Wike is an attention seeker. He wants to be
talked about in the news at all times.
“He has granted live coverage more than any other public
officer in the world. He wants to do ground-breaking of a project, he goes
live. He wants to do foundation, he goes live, one single project five, six people
will come and you create ceremonies and waste the taxpayers’ money of Rivers
State.”
This is coming after Wike had on April 11 during a media
chat in Port Harcourt said Melaye lacked what it takes to become Governor of
Kogi State.
Melaye had, while replying to Wike, linked his rift with him
to the governor’s inability to secure the party’s presidential ticket in 2022
and the refusal of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to pick him
as his running mate.
The face-off between both politicians began when Wike kicked
against Melaye’s bid to secure the PDP ticket for the Kogi gubernatorial
election.
