Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has stated that he would defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a free and fair election. Melaye made the assertion during an interview with Channels TV’s Seun Okinbaloye on Mic On.
In the interview, Melaye criticised the current administration and expressed confidence in his chances if given a level playing field. He opined that any presidential aspirant under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would perform better than President Tinubu.
“Anybody among those interested in the presidency in ADC would do one million times better than Tinubu. They can never be a worse president than Tinubu. They can never be.”
Expressing confidence in his own chances, he stated
“Me? Dino Melaye. Let’s go. Let’s go on a free and fair election.”
Melaye further described the President as unpopular among Nigerians, adding, “Today, Bola Tinubu is the most unpopular politician in Nigeria.”
He insisted he would secure a decisive victory in an election against Tinubu if the process is credible. The former lawmaker also called for an open electoral process, warning against any attempt to undermine democracy.
“Let him allow a free and fair contest. And if he doesn’t allow it, we will make him conduct our election because he doesn’t want election. He wants to be Kabiyesi. He wants to be Igwe. We will not allow that to happen in Nigeria. It will not happen” he said
