Former Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, has lashed out at the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, following the decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to suspend recognition of factions within the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Reacting via his X account on Wednesday, Melaye described the situation as “satanic and wicked,” alleging that the APC was attempting to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
He stated that the recent political realignments involving Rabiu Kwankwaso and others would expose what he termed the ruling party’s “nefarious” tendencies.
According to him, the opposition figures would resist such moves.
“The movement of Kwankwaso AND others will reveal the nefarious, satanic and wicked characteristics of APC. they will do everything to turn Nigeria to a one party state but we no go gree. All die na die,” Melaye said.
DAILY POST reports that his reaction follows INEC’s announcement that it has removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its official portal as National Chairman and National Secretary of the ADC, respectively.
The commission also said it would not recognise Nafiu Bala Gombe, who is seeking to be declared national chairman through the courts.
INEC further disclosed that it would suspend recognition of all factions within the party and refrain from monitoring any conventions or congresses organised by the contending groups, pending the final determination of a substantive suit before the Federal High Court.
