Melaye Warns of Rigging Threat in 2027 Elections

Dino Melaye, a former federal lawmaker and senator, raised alarms regarding the integrity of Nigeria's 2027 presidential elections. In a video posted on his Facebook page on Saturday, Melaye warned that if Bola Tinubu, the current president, attempts to rig the elections, there could be severe consequences.

He emphasized that any manipulation of the electoral process would be met with strong resistance. Melaye expressed fears that Nigeria could end up with a president who might flee the country, drawing a parallel to events in Indonesia.

He stated that the Nigerian populace, which he described as 99 percent oppressed, would not remain silent and would exercise their power to resist any electoral fraud. Melaye's comments reflect a growing concern about the potential for electoral malpractice in the upcoming elections.
