Dino replies Wike: You’ve stepped on tiger’s tail

A Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship aspirant for Kogi State, Senator Dino Melaye, has vowed to fight the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for daring to stepped on the tiger’s tail.

He also said Kogi is not Rivers and declared that the people of Kogi was not going to serve serve a foreign godfather.

He was reacting to Governor Wike’s criticism of his ambition to be Kogi governor.

Wike who addressed journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday claimed that the former lawmaker was not fit to be governor of Kogi State.

Reacting, Dino said Wike’s rift with him emanated from his (Dino) inability to support the governor’s presidential ambition.

He said Wike ought to be planning how to survive after he quits the government house on May 29.

Dino’s statement issued on Tuesday read in part, “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 has 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.”
