Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye cautions President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, warning that he could face a fate similar to Nigeria’s former military Head of State, Sani Abacha. Melaye argues that Tinubu should “watch it” because, in his view, there is a “God factor” in political outcomes. He says Abacha was broadly endorsed, claiming that all five political parties backed him at the time and that there was no major contest. According to Melaye, Abacha was moving toward transitioning from military rule to a civilian presidency when “God called” him. Melaye also criticizes Tinubu for what he presents as a lack of understanding of this factor. He makes the point that when God calls, there is no “network failure,” suggesting that political endorsements or planning cannot override divine intervention. The warning is delivered in posts attributed to Melaye, including an online statement on X.
