A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dino Melaye, has hinted that Nigerians are no longer interested in President Bola Tinubu’s second tenure.

Melaye said Nigerians can no longer endure another four years of Tinubu’s corrupt, reckless and incompetent administration.

Posting on X, Melaye wrote: “Tinubu’s second term is no longer about interest but existential. Nigerians cannot afford another four years of a miserable, corrupt, reckless, incompetent and prodical government.”

The former Kogi West Senator also accused Tinubu of playing politics with the lives of Nigerians.

He also accused the president of undermining democracy and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

“Tinubu is playing politics with the lives of Nigerians, undermining democracy and Gov Seyi Makinde,” he said.

Tinubu is the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate after emerging winner of the party’s primary election with about 11 million votes.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Sani, has disclosed that the party is open for an alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sani made this revelation on Tuesday when he featured in an interview on Arise Television.

He was speaking on the readiness of the party for next year’s general elections, noting that the PDP is the strongest party across the country.

“Yes, of course, we are ready to accommodate alliances and collaboration, and I can assure you that, in view of the situation on ground and the lack of acceptability of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by Nigerians, PDP stands a chance.

“Nigerians have rejected the APC because they believe that the APC is the agent of poverty and poor governance.

“There are so many protests on bad governance. Nigerians have openly rejected the APC, and so they need an alternative. The PDP is very poised, very ready to provide that alternative,” he said.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, says former president Goodluck Jonathan is taking his time before publicly accepting or rejecting the party’s nomination form ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sani made the claims on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television.

He stated that the issue of whether Jonathan is reluctant does not arise because he has been the president before.

The PDP stalwart, who noted that Jonathan wants to become president, stressed that there are obstacles along the way that he wants to clear before making his decision public.

“There is an eligibility case against Jonathan. Even though the court has dismissed the case, the people are adamant and they have gone ahead to appeal the judgment.

“Now, one thing must give way for another to thrive. Jonathan wants to become president. There are encumbrances that need to be cleared before he will express himself.

“So I won’t think there is any reluctance on his part. He is very determined to become president of Nigeria, but he is being very careful about the court case.

“So, as far as we are concerned, Jonathan is our candidate. We have put out his name, though he has not come out publicly to either accept or reject. I think he’s been very strategic. He’s taking his time,” the PDP chieftain said.
