The Digest:
The Presidency has criticised former senator Dino Melaye over his remarks at the ADC National Convention, describing his comments as "loud, empty, and predictable." Senior Special Assistant O'tega Ogra said Melaye "confuses performance with policy" and "mistakes volume for value." He recalled Melaye's past "tasteless jingle" about President Tinubu's knees, noting that Nigerians watched, then voted for Tinubu. Ogra described Melaye's political trajectory as "contest, lose, litigate, lose, rebrand with ADC, repeat."
Key Points:
- Ogra said Melaye shouts scandal but skips the substance.
- He accused Melaye of repeating the same style of politics centred on mockery.
- Melaye lost the 2019 Kogi West senatorial election at the Appeal Court.
- He also lost the PDP senatorial primaries and came third in a governorship race.
- Ogra noted that President Tinubu is still president despite Melaye's mockery.
