2023: You Can’t Market Tinubu And Not Look Stupid – Dino Melaye

Senator Dino Melaye, has stated that it is impossible to Market the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu without looking stupid.

Dino, who appeared on a Channels TV programme on Friday, said the alleged failure of the APC government has made it difficult for candidates of the party to gain acceptance in the country.

According to the former governorship aspirant in Kogi State, Tinubu and the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi are no match in any manner with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Dino, who was recently appointed as the spokesperson of Atiku campaign council, also lambasted the Minister of Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo over his recent comment against Tinubu.

He said, “This government marketed Atiku by their colossal failure. Today, the most difficult candidate to sell is APC candidate whether at House of Representatives, senator or governorship level.

“That is why you cannot defend, promote or campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu without looking stupid. This is what happened to my brother and friend, Festus Keyamo, he started talking off point. He started saying things that do not make sense.”

Senator Melaye believes his principal is the best for the presidential seat next year, dismissing what he called the “social media euphoria” of Peter Obi.

According to him, social media is quite different from reality, arguing that the Labour Party did poorly in the Osun State governorship election.

“What you have is euphoria; a created euphoria,” he said during the show. “Let me even tell you, Peter Obi is a fantastic Nigerian. I have tremendous respect for him and I have said it before but this is not his time. He does not have what it takes now to unify the country.”

“Today, among all presidential candidates, Atiku is the only one that can be trusted; nobody will see him as a religious bigot, tribalist; or ethnic jingoist,” Melaye added.
