Dino Melaye says Peter Obi should help and support Atiku Abubakar in 2027, rather than the other way around, because he believes Atiku is too senior and politically powerful to be Obi’s assistant or running mate.
In an interview with DCL, he used the comparison: “It is a lorry that pulls a Volkswagen.”
He dismissed talk that Atiku might not appear on the ballot, telling APC and Atiku supporters not to panic.
He said Atiku will be on the ballot and will win, and predicted that Tinubu and his governors would be defeated.
Melaye also questioned the value of governors in politics, pointing to the 2023 Senate contests, in which 12 serving governors ran and only three won.
He insisted Atiku is determined to contest.
