Melaye warns critics against abusing Atiku (VIDEO)
The former senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, on Sunday cautioned critics against attacking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the 2023 general elections draw near.
In a video posted on his social media accounts, the ex-lawmaker declared that Abubakar’s supporters would no longer keep quiet when critics make jokes about the former vice president’s personality.
He said: “While we are advocating for support from all Nigerians, we want to also warn seriously that we will not tolerate disparaging, ridiculing diminishing, or using foul languages on Atiku Abubakar.

“You come for Atiku, we will come for you. We will no longer keep quiet to characters who just want to use propaganda and lies to disparage and disrespect the person and personality of Atiku Abubakar.
“The only business we have now is to rescue our country and it is not the business of PDP members alone but the business of every Nigerian.”
