Former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has slammed President Bola Tinubu for appointing himself as the chairman of his 2027 campaign council.
According to the presidential campaign council list released
by the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Saturday, Tinubu and Vice President
Kashim Shettima are expected to serve as chairman and vice chairman,
respectively.
Reacting, Melaye, in a post on his official Facebook page,
said it was abnormal for a presidential candidate to serve as chairman of his
own campaign team, describing the move as disgraceful.
According to Melaye, Tinubu’s move reflects his distrust of
both APC governors and ministers, stating that the president is even afraid of
his own shadow.
He said, “It is a disgrace that President Tinubu doesn’t
trust anyone. He doesn’t trust himself. He is afraid of his own shadow; he
doesn’t believe in anybody.
“This is the first time in the history of the world that a
presidential candidate of a political party will appoint himself as the
chairman of his own presidential campaign council.
“Those the gods want to destroy, they first make mad. How
can you be a presidential candidate and still be the chairman of the campaign
council? If Tinubu likes, he should be the spokesperson of his own campaign.
“It has never happened before now that you have that kind of
bogus presidential campaign council. It shows that they are afraid. It shows
that Tinubu knows that even the governors and ministers cannot be trusted.
“That is why he wants everything to be reported directly to
him. It is disgraceful.”
