Dino Melaye: 2023 is not Obi’s moment because he lacks the necessary skills to unite Nigeria

Senator Dino Melaye, the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Abubakar Atiku’s presidential campaign, has retaliated against individuals who have criticized Atiku Abubakar’s presidential skills.

The senator who represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the Eighth Assembly said during an interview on Channels Television that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, does not have what it takes to unite Nigeria.

He stated that 2023 was not Obi’s time, noting that Nigerians ‘can’t have a national president in Obi’.

Dino, who vehemently outlined Atiku’s preparation for the presidency, claimed that Atiku was the only contender with an updated CV. He mentioned Atiku’s recent master’s degree from Dubai.

On how Atiku would tackle insecurity, Dino opined that: “Atiku has masters and good blueprint on how to deal with insecurity. He said that Atiku brought peace to Adamawa when it is needed most.

On the character of the former vice president, Dino averred that “Atiku has never been indicted of any criminal conduct. I don’t believe in noise-making, I believe in facts and figures. “Atiku is upright. He is a great man. Atiku is trusted by Nigerians. Atiku is loved by the youths of this country”.

On APC, the outspoken Melaye said: “You can’t market what is not marketable”, Atiku is coming in to remove those financial scavengers and economic cankerworms. APC officials are good at giving carpentry jobs to tailors.”

Speaking on Peter Obi, Dino said: “We can’t have a national president in Obi. This is not Obi’s time. He doesn’t have all it takes to unify Nigerians. The people making noise about Obi are not following him on social media. It’s a euphoria”
