2027: APC desperate, Tinubu blocking polls – Dino Melaye
Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is opposed to holding elections next year.
Speaking on Channels Television on Thursday morning, Melaye also described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as being “so desperate.”
He added, “The APC has become so desperate. They have seen that ADC is the only opposition we have in Nigeria to challenge.”
Melaye’s comments highlight rising tensions between the ruling party and opposition groups ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
“They have seen the exodus of people from various political parties into the ADC and they are panicked.
“I’m shocked why they are panicked. You say you have 32 governors, so why are you afraid?
“It is not about ADC. It is about democracy.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to be coronated. He does not want an election.
“It is a Kabiyesi mentality.”
Melaye’s comments come hours after INEC removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its official portal as National Chairman and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, respectively.
The electoral body also said it will not recognize factions within the party or monitor any conventions or congresses organised by groups aligned with the affected leaders.
