Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has said President Bola Tinubu is overwhelmed and incapable of leading Nigeria.

Melaye, who said Tinubu is wearing an oversized shoe, noted that Nigeria is not Lagos, where he reigned supreme.

He spoke in Abuja during the third posthumous legacy colloquium held in honour of the late founder of DAAR Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, where he faulted Tinubu’s Democracy Day speech.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain noted that the president’s speech failed to reflect the hardships confronting ordinary Nigerians.

He said, “Any leader of this country who has failed in security and failed in welfare is a failed president. The president is wearing an oversized shoe. You cannot give what you don’t have.

“Nigeria is not Lagos. He is overwhelmed. He does not have the intellectual, emotional, or physical capacity and capability to lead this country.

“He cannot be Commander-in-Chief because this country has never seen it this bad. In the last three years alone, three serving generals have been abducted and killed. Abroad, only one pilot went missing, and America deployed everything to locate him.

“So, when generals are being killed, what is the state of our security? I am not among those saying the government should pay ransom.

“I am only saying the government should show capacity. And when you cannot do it, you should resign honourably and leave.”
