In a recent statement via his official X account, former Senator Dino Melaye has mocked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), suggesting that the current political leadership is losing touch with the people and failing to understand the mood of the nation as dissatisfaction continues to grow.
”Announcing the formation of Village boys for a new Nigeria. All village boys like me, join us. Fixing Nigeria is our responsibility,” he wrote.
In his post, Melaye explained that his message reflects the reality on the ground, where ordinary Nigerians are becoming more vocal about their frustrations, he implied that the ruling party is being challenged not just by politicians but by citizens who are beginning to demand accountability and better governance.
He pointed to the rising influence of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a platform that is gaining attention among those seeking change, he indicated that the coalition forming around the party represents a new direction for opposition politics in Nigeria.
He highlighted the role of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, noting that recent political movements linked to him have added strength to the ADC coalition, he suggested that this development is helping to reshape the political landscape and attract wider support across different regions.
He maintained that his comments are not just for entertainment but are meant to reflect deeper concerns about governance, he argued that political leaders must listen to the people and respond to their needs rather than dismiss criticism as mere noise.
He added that the growing conversations online show that Nigerians are paying closer attention to political developments, he believes that this awareness could influence future elections and encourage more active participation in the democratic process.
