Former lawmaker Senator Dino Melaye says he will take President Bola Tinubu and the APC to court over what he alleges is a conflict of interest involving Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) Chairman Dr Zacch Adedeji. Melaye claims Adedeji was appointed as Deputy Director of Fundraising for Tinubu’s 2027 presidential campaign, a step he says must be challenged legally.
Both outlets report that the APC has unveiled members of its campaign council, and that Adedeji’s name drew reactions online. Some commenters express concern that public revenue and taxpayers’ money could be diverted to support the president’s re-election bid. Melaye frames the issue as a statutory or ethical conflict, arguing that a senior NRS official should not take on an overt fundraising role for a political campaign.
While the outlets share the same core allegation and Melaye’s intention to sue, they differ mainly in the emphasis placed on the political context versus the specific conflict-of-interest argument. Neither source reports the government’s or Adedeji’s response, nor any court filing details beyond Melaye’s statement that he plans to go to court.
