APC's leadership crisis

Ahead of the 2023 elections, the ruling APC is facing a leadership crisis especially following a Supreme Court verdict which some interpreted as questioning the legality of the party's caretaker committee arrangement.

However, Melaye's party, PDP, is also engulfed in a leadership crisis as some prominent members have continued to call for the resignation of the national chairman, Uche Secondus.

"FGN needs to put you on payroll for providing psychotherapy for the socially bereaved ones in this Country Nigeria. SDM keep it up."

Chimezie Ezeala Thomas said:

"You're still viewing the problems of Nigeria from a partisan perspective. You're indeed an opportunistic politician."

Dino Melaye speaks on Yahaya Bello's presidential ambition

In a previous report, Melaye threw a jibe at Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state, his political archrival, saying he cannot be Nigeria’s president.

Governor Bello is one of the Nigerian politicians who has been widely reported to be interested in succeeding President Muhammdu Buhari in 2023.

However, the former Kogi West senator said Governor Bello who used to be his political ally "can only be the president of Agasa Development Union in Okene."
