"So I would not want to bother myself speaking with a man that is about to leave office and is suffering from post-election trauma."
Senator Melaye stated that his quest to become the next governor of Kogi State is solely his priority, and he would not allow himself to be distracted by Governor Wike's antics and mind games.
He added:
"I want to concentrate seriously on my election. I want to concentrate on rescuing the people of Kogi state, and I do not have time actually for drug and alcohol-induced individuals."
Senator Melaye, over the weekend, cemented his place within the PDP as he secured the party's governorship ticket with a landslide victory.
The former lawmaker would face a tough battle in unseating the incumbent party (All Progressive Congress), which has presented Usman Ododo as its flagbearer for the off-cycle gubernatorial election slated for Saturday, November 11.
