Senator Dino Melaye has rejected a viral graphic circulating online that falsely claims he said Peter Obi is “a great man but not fit to be president now” ahead of the 2027 general election. Melaye took to his official social media page to write “This is fake and not from me,” making clear that the quote did not originate from him.
Recall that some news platforms and social media posts have been sharing the graphic over the past day, presenting it as a recent statement by Melaye in his capacity as a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress. The image paired photos of Melaye and Obi with the alleged quote, but the former senator’s response directly disputes the attribution.
Melaye’s statement confirms that he did not make the remark and clarifies his position regarding the viral content.
