Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The camp of the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to Governor Nyesom Wike\u2019s tirade against former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye.<\/p>\n

Daniel Bwala, one of the spokespersons of Atiku presidential campaign team, accused Wike of calling out the wrong crew in person of Melaye.<\/p>\n

Recall that Wike had said Melaye can\u2019t be governor of Kogi State.<\/p>\n

Addressing a media parley in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Wike said the former lawmaker lacked what it takes to govern a state.<\/p>\n

The governor warned that PDP would lose Kogi State if Melaye is given the party\u2019s ticket.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Bwala warned of more fireworks between Wike and Melaye in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, Bwala wrote: \u201cGov. Wike has been fighting and insulting people and today he called out a wrong crew, Dino.<\/p>\n

\u201cDino just released a trailer to the main movie and tables are shaking already. The coming days would be El-Classicos.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 29, Melaye had declared interest in the Kogi governorship race scheduled to take place on November 11 2023.<\/p>\n
