Dino Melaye Stirs Reactions Online As He Describes Atiku As Real President (Photo)

Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye stirred reactions on social media on Tuesday when he described former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar as the real president.

Taking to his account on the X platform, Melaye shared a picture of himself, Atiku, who contested the 2023 election as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and some other individuals eating at a restaurant.

According to him, Atiku took them out to an exclusive restaurant.

“The real president, Atiku Abubakar, took us out to the exclusive Cipriani restaurant. Thank you, Daddy.” he wrote.

The former lawmaker also shared a picture of them at the restaurant without revealing the location.

The post however generated mixed reactions on social media as some netizens questioned his description of the PDP candidate as president while others mocked Atiku for allegedly returning to Dubai after losing the 2023 election in Nigeria.

Melaye himself was also mocked for losing the 2023 Kogi State governorship election which he contested on the platform of the PDP.

Below are some reactions culled by Naija News.
