"Dino Melaye Expresses Regret over Supporting All Progressives Congress"
In the political sphere of Nigeria, two prominent figures, Dino Melaye and Atiku Abubakar, are making waves.
Dino Melaye, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), recently lamented the severity of the economic crisis in the country, stating that it has never been as disastrous as it is now. His comments were made during an interview with Channels Television's Politics Today.
Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President, is pursuing his ambition to run for president in the 2027 Nigerian elections. He is seeking the ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a move that has caused internal tensions within the party. Key figures like Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai have expressed discomfort with Atiku's insistence on contesting, fearing it could split the coalition. Atiku's departure from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has opened the contest to other aspirants.
Atiku's agenda, although not detailed, appears to focus on economic revival and restoring northern pride. However, Dino Melaye, known for his commentary on national issues, has not been quoted directly to elaborate on Atiku's precise economic strategies.
The political landscape has not been without controversy. Dino Melaye, who was once a candidate of the PDP, has faced criticism from Lere Olayinka, a senior aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. Olayinka described those who left the PDP for the ADC as "bad eggs." He also accused Dino Melaye of not voting in the Kogi State election and instead creating social media content from his home.
In response, Dino Melaye expressed regret over his support for the APC and stated that Atiku Abubakar is rescuing the country, bringing together men of honour and valour to correct the satanic manifestation of the APC in the country.
The criticism from Olayinka may affect Dino Melaye's standing within the ADC coalition and potentially discourage other potential supporters from joining. However, Dino Melaye remains optimistic, believing that Atiku Abubakar is bringing greater minds together to deliver Nigeria from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
As the political landscape continues to shift, the role of figures like Dino Melaye and Atiku Abubakar will undoubtedly play a significant part in shaping Nigeria's future.
- Dino Melaye, previously a PDP candidate, has joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and now supports Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 Nigerian elections, a shift that has caused internal tension within the party.
