Dino Melaye Denies Claim He Said Peter Obi Is Unfit To Be Nigeria’s President

Dino Melaye, a senior member of the African Democratic Congress, has dismissed reports that he labelled former Peter Obi as unfit to serve as Nigeria’s president.

On Thursday, some media outlets (excluding Parallel Facts News) suggested that the former Kogi West Senator called Obi “a fantastic man who cannot become Nigeria’s President” during an appearance on Channels Television.

Melaye took to X to clarify that the reports were entirely false, describing them as baseless and insisting that he never made such comments.

The clarification arrives amid growing speculation about the 2027 presidential race, where Obi continues to be seen as a key contender both within his party and among the electorate.
