Bola Tinubu and Dino Melaye
A former Kogi Lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has taken a swipe at Ahmed Bola Tinubu, stating that he is a flag bearer who could not lift his party’s flag after he emerged winner of the APC primaries.
The Senator stated that Tinubu is not memtally, physically and medically fit to rule the country.
Melaye speaking on an interview on Channels TV on Monday evening said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, “was playing football three to four days ago” while challenging Tinubu to go and do same to prove if he was healthy as claimed.
He said, “For us in the PDP, we have asked Atiku to put together his acceptance speech because he’s the next president of federal republic of Nigeria; Bola Tinubu with his inordinate ambition, capricious manifestation and reaction formation is no match. Bola Tinubu is a baby weight compared to Atiku Abubakar.
“In all ramifications, politically, mentally, physically, medically, socially and even religiously, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar’s political popularity are not on the same page, how can Tinubu be bigger than Atiku?
“In terms of political experience, you cannot say Bola Tinubu and Atiku on the same page, Atiku in 1992 stepped down for MKO Abiola, Abubakar by the virtue of being the Vice President of this country has a political edge in terms of experience.
“It is not possible that a sound, intellectually and physically fit Atiku be compared with Tinubu. Atiku was playing football three to four days ago; ask the candidate of APC to go and do same thing. You have to be mentally and physically fit to be president of Nigeria.
“You have the flag bearer of the APC who cannot even lift a flag.”
He further stated that no sane Nigeria would vote for the APC.
