Melaye Lampoons Tinubu Over Jos Rally

Spokesperson, PDP Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Senator Dino Melaye has said the performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, during his campaign in Jos, was an early warning signal that he isn’t fit to preside over Nigeria.

Melaye said Tinubu’s unsteady gaits to his incoherence and the unintended but welcome prayer for the PDP at the Jos rally, demonstrated another pattern of unfitness for the office he seeks to occupy.

He said electorates should use the period of campaign to mark the scripts of various candidates and their parties.

Melaye, in a statement, said “In disaster management, there are some principles. The first is early warning signs. The disaster that the unlikely presidency that the Tinubu ambition represents is laden with early warning signs, buttressed by his conduct and carriage. Nigeria can not afford to walk into disaster. The second principle in disaster management is disaster risk reduction. Again, Nigeria has a great chance now to avoid a repeat of the Buhari Presidency, who was largely an absentee President in and outside the county.

“The controversies surrounding the Tinubu persona are legion. His age is shrouded in mystery. His academic credentials are in debate. The records of his career are in dispute. The source of his wealth are in contention. The burden of crime hangs around his neck. If in the face of all these he has been getting away and some Nigerians want to contextualise all within human fraility, what about the personal failures he now markets around the country.”
