Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has cautioned the Federal Government of Nigeria against taking action—including inviting, arresting, or interrogating—African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar. This warning stems from a corruption petition lodged with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Melaye threatens mass action should the government proceed against Abubakar. The statement, published by Vanguard News, signals escalating political tensions within Nigeria. The former Senator’s warning underscores the sensitivity surrounding the investigation and potential repercussions. This development raises questions about the impartiality of the EFCC and the political motivations behind the petition. The situation remains fluid as the Nigerian government has yet to respond to Melaye’s statement.
