Outspoken Former Member of the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye, says the All Progressives Party (APC) and President Bola Tinubu are afraid to face Nigerian people in the 2027 elections hence their plan of instigating crises in viable opposition parties.
Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Thursday, Senator Melaye accused them
of orchestrating the legal crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the action as desperation.
According to the former Lawmaker, all Tinubu wants is to be coronated and not elected as the next President in the 2027 general election.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to be coronated; he doesn’t want an election, he just wants to be coronated. He wants us to practice a monarchical system of government, a Kabiyesi mentally, where he would just be coronated,” the former Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate stated.
“What happened yesterday (Wednesday) was definitely motivated by the ruling party. It is not about ADC or one political party; it is about an affront on democracy, and every Nigerian should be concerned that the democracy of this country is about to be destroyed,” the fiery Senator warned.
Going deep into the matter, Melaye claimed that there was a certified copy of the resignation letter of Nafiu Gombe’s as ADC deputy chair.
“He was never deputy national chairman, as at the time he was instituting that case, he was not a national executive or official of the ADC because he resigned his appointment as the deputy national chairman. We have truly certified copies,” he declared.
Recall, INEC had on Wednesday said it would no longer accept correspondence from either the Mark-led ADC or that of Rafiu Bala, following a review of the Court of Appeal judgment on March 12 this year.
