You’re Desperate To Be President – Melaye Blasts Tinubu Over Speech On Grabbing Power By Force

 

Dino Melaye has accused Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being desperate to win next year's 2023 presidential election.

 

Melaye is the Chief Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, 

 

He was reacting to Tinubu's recent controversial comments in London.

 

The former Governor of Lagos State was seen in a viral video educating his campaign team on how to acquire power at all costs.

 

The APC flagbearer, who had appeared at the Chatham House in London, on Monday, spoke on issues concerning the 2023 election, economy, security, and foreign policy.

 

After the event, Tinubu and his team also had the opportunity to unwind from their stress at a private dinner where he educated them on political power.

 

According to the APC flagbearer, political power is not served in a restaurant or ala carte and a person must be determined to get it at all costs.

 

He noted that if taking over political power will involve fighting for it, an individual should snatch it, grab it and run with it.

 

Reacting to the comment in a statement on Thursday, Melaye accused Tinubu of being desperate to become President by hook or crook.

 

Senator Melaye alleged that the APC flagbearer plans to resort to electoral violence and other unorthodox methods of grabbing power in 2023.

 

The PDP chieftain, therefore, called on the international community, security agencies, and lovers of Nigeria’s democracy to do all that is necessary to forestall the plan to undermine the forthcoming polls.

 

The statement reads: “The desperation of Tinubu to be President of Nigeria at all cost, by all means, and by crook and hook, was eloquently evidenced in this his charge during his woeful outing in London.”
