“APC is satanic and wicked”, Dino Melaye blasts APC over ADC crisis

Former Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, speaks what is on the minds of most Nigerians.

In a statement on his X handle, he blasted the All Progressives Congress as “satanic and wicked”. His outburst followed the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to stop recognising factions within the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

INEC has announced it removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its official portal as National Chairman and National Secretary of AD. It also said it would not recognise Nafiu Bala Gombe, who is seeking to be declared national chairman through the courts. In fact, the electoral umpire stated it would not monitor the ADC congresses and convention until the courts’ final rulings on the pending matters.

In his reaction, Dino Melaye accused APC of being behind the deepening ADC crisis and of attempting to make Nigeria a One-Party country. But opposition figures would resist that, he maintained.

“The movement of Kwankwaso AND others will reveal the nefarious, satanic and wicked characteristics of APC. They will do everything to turn Nigeria to a one party state but we no go gree. All die na die,” the former senator said.
