I’m still at a lost as to how people are abusing and some blaming Dino Melaye for responding to an unprovoked attack from Wike. To the best of my understanding,Dino couldn’t have singlehandedly made Wike win PDP Presidential primary election, neither could he have made Atiku nominate him as VP. What then is Dino’s crime apart from the fact that he, as an adult decided to follow his conviction in his choice of Presidential candidate?
Except we decided to stand logic on it head,Dino should have freedom of choice as a senior citizen of Nigeria. That Wike supported him in his political quest to be governor doesn’t mean Wike should control Dino’s life. Was the support he gave Dino meant to buy his life and existence? So that Dino should become a robot and zombie to Wike, whether right or wrong? I don’t get it!
Dino supported Atiku and even as a spokes person of Atiku campaign organization,Dino restricted himself a great deal whenever Wike and the G-5 issue came up until Wike went berserk and started throwing tantrums to Atiku, anybody and anything around Atiku. You can verify from the early videos of interviews Dino granted in the early stage of the campaign. So, in the face of the unprovoked attack from Wike currently ongoing,what should Dino do? Seat back and allow Wike ridicule his hard earned pedigree and reputation? Dino was already several times member of the Nigeria parliament before the help Wike was said to have given him that we now understand was meant to buy his body,soul and spirit. Dino was never ready nor willing to trade his life and existence for political support whatsoever. Whether you like Dino or not,he in the current circumstances has not done anything to deserve the unwarranted attack, disrespect and bully that Wike has and still set to subject him to.
Moreover,who is a saint in the game of politics? Honestly speaking, it’s always best that ; don’t talk when you drink and don’t drink if you must talk. People should stop demanding for people’s lives because they once help them. Somebody helped everybody too.
NOTE: I’m not a fan of Dino but truth is truth anytime everywhere.
