Melaye to Sue Over Adedeji's APC Campaign Role
Former Kogi West senator Dino Melaye announced his intention to file a lawsuit challenging the inclusion of Zacch Adedeji, chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, in the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council as Deputy Director of Fundraising. Melaye, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress in Kogi State, expressed his concerns in a video posted on his official X account on August 23.
He argued that Adedeji's role presents a clear conflict of interest, as his position as a public servant is bound by the Public Service Rules, which Melaye believes the campaign appointment violates. Additionally, Melaye criticized Bola Tinubu's decision to chair the campaign council, suggesting it indicates a lack of trust within the ruling party.
He described the council's structure as "very, very, very bogus" and warned of his plans to oppose Tinubu in the 2027 election cycle, stating, "The battle to stop Tinubu is a battle of no retreat, no surrender.".
