2023 Presidency: This Is Atiku’s Time – Melaye Tells Peter Obi

July 01, (THEWILL) – Former senator, who represented Kogi West senatorial district in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has appealed to the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to wait for his “time”, in order to achieve his presidential ambition.

“We need a Nigerian that has that capacity to solve the problem of Boko Haram, bandits and others because he has intel from all the neighbouring countries and that Nigerian today, is Atiku Abubakar”, he said.

Melaye, who is currently in the United States of America, made the appeal in a video posted on his verified Facebook page on Friday.

He said while the majority of the former Anambra State governor’s campaign dwells on reducing the cost of governance, Nigerian challenges were beyond just reducing the cost of governance.

Melaye, who noted that Obi is a potential president of Nigeria, said the time was not right for him to actualise his presidential ambition, adding that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was the right person for the job presently.

His words: “By the grace of God he (Obi) has the potential of being the president in the near future. I celebrate you and I celebrate your movement for a new Nigeria. While I celebrate you, I want to advise you that your time is not now. You have to wait for your time.

“I have listened to your postulations, arguments, deliveries, and campaigns and I can say 90 percent of your campaigns are dwelling on reducing the cost of governance.

“You are a great Nigerian and I salute your political and intellectual sagacity. You are one Nigerian that I know that tomorrow, there’s a space for you. But for today, let us forget the social media drama and Diaspora euphoria.

“The truth of the matter is that we need a unifier and a Nigerian that can solve the problem of insecurity and that will have intel from every security facet of our national life. We need a Nigerian that will get intel from Cameroon, Mali, Chad, Benin Republic and others.

“We need a Nigerian that has that capacity to solve the problem of Boko Haram, bandits and others, because he has intel from all the neighbouring countries and that Nigerian today, is Atiku Abubakar.”
