Melaye made the claim on Thursday during an appearance on Channels Television, where he also described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as “desperate.”
“The APC has become so desperate. They have seen that ADC is the only opposition we have in Nigeria to challenge,” he said.
“They have seen the exodus of people from various political parties into the ADC and they are panicked. I’m shocked why they are panicking. You say you have 32 governors, so why are you afraid?”
He added that the situation goes beyond party politics, framing it as a broader issue of democratic principles.
“It is not about ADC. It is about democracy. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to be crowned. He does not want an election. It is a Kabiyesi mentality,” Melaye stated.
His remarks come shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its official portal as National Chairman and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), respectively.
INEC also announced it would not recognise any faction within the party or monitor conventions and congresses organised by groups aligned with the affected leaders, further intensifying political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
