In a statement on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday, Melaye said Kogi is not Rivers State where Wike determines who becomes governor, adding that power belongs to God.

“On recovering from his inebriation, Wike should be reminded that Kogi is not Rivers, and the people of Kogi State would not worship any foreign God.
“Above all, Wike should also understand that power belongs to God, and he gives it to whoever he wants, even the basest of men,” Melaye wrote.
“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.”
Melaye said Wike is against his governorship ambition because he backed PDP flag bearer, Atiku against the governor’s interest in the G5.

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