Dino Melaye demands apology from Peter Obi over outburst

Dino Melaye, a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, has demanded an apology from Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi for his outburst at him.

On Sunday at the presidential town hall meeting in Abuja, Mr. Obi attacked Melaye and stated that the senator had made untrue statements about him.

Melaye responded in a video that was shared on social media on Monday, claiming that Obi’s actions were uncalled for.

He said, “I didn’t mention his name and I was really surprised to see that type of outburst from a presidential candidate. Is that the type of president he’s going to make, just taking on people and showing unpresidential characteristics?”

Senator Melaye added, “That outburst is unwarranted, very unpresidential, unacceptable of a leader. A leader must be mature, one who wants to govern this country must be accommodating, must have patience and perseverance. These are basic characteristics of a leader anywhere in the world.”

Melaye claimed that going by Obi’s action on Sunday he would slap his aide-de-camp if elected president.

He added that Obi was provoked by Okowa’s brilliance. Okowa represented the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar at the event.

“Next time be as calm as Governor Okowa… and I deserve a serious apology,” he said.
