Senator Dino Melaye has sparked fresh controversy with his remarks following reports of political realignment involving former presidential candidate Peter Obi, who was said to have left the ADC and moved toward the NDC.
Melaye, in a strongly worded reaction, questioned Obi’s political strength and ability to withstand internal party struggles, arguing that his rise in politics has often come through uncontested or “automatic” opportunities.
He said:
“Peter Obi excused himself from tough situation. If he can not face party tribulations and crisis, how does he intend to handle Nigeria,? Because Nigeria wahala pass ADC problems oooo.
He can only operate in an air-conditioned kitchen. Hot kitchens are not for him. He has never gone through primary, APGA gave him free Governorship ticket,Atiku gave him free VP ticket, Labour gave free Presidential ticket.
He can not be part of Primary election, reason why he left PDP, reason why he left ADC for another free ticket in NDC.
NDC is an agency of APC.”
The comments have since generated reactions across political circles and social media, with supporters and critics weighing in on his claims.
