Dino Melaye, a former member of The House, believes that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential contender, is the most qualified person to lead Nigeria.
Dino believes that Atiku is the ideal candidate to bring Nigerians together because he has married women from the three largest tribes in Nigeria, the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba.
In a video that he shared on his social media account on Friday, July 1, Dino said that he did not believe the time was right for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labor party.
According to his assessment of Peter Obi’s perspective on the issues facing the nation, the country does not currently need him.
Not someone like Obi who “only wants to cut the cost of governance,” Dino stated, but rather someone who would bring together the nation’s various regions and ethnic groups.
“Peter Obi is one of the finest Nigerians who are intellectually mobile, he is a great Nigerian and by the grace of God, he is qualified to be a president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the nearest future. Mr Peter Obi, I celebrate your movement for a new Nigeria, but I want to advise that your time is not now, you have to wait for your time.
“I have listened to your arguments and your deliveries including your campaign but I can say that 90% of your campaign is dwelling on reducing the cost of governance.
“I want to tell you that the problems of this country are beyond just cutting the cost of governance. It is less than 1% of our national problems.
“What we need in this country is to unite the nation. Nigeria has never been this divided in our national history. We need one character who has the ability to unite us as a nation.”
