2027: ‘Tinubu must go, Venezuela go happen for Naija’ – Dino Melaye

Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has voiced confidence that President Bola Tinubu will be ousted from office during the 2027 general elections. On Wednesday, Melaye expressed his stance on his verified X account, drawing a parallel between the situation in Venezuela and what is expected to unfold in Nigeria. This prediction followed a statement from a US firm contemplating a probe into the alleged drug trafficking case implicating President Tinubu.

According to the Daily Post, US District Judge Beryl Howell recently granted additional time for Jeanine Pirro, an attorney appointed by Donald Trump, to disclose the drug-trafficking records of Tinubu. In January 2026, the US apprehended Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife on drug and weapons charges. Melaye remarked, "Home is calling. Work plenty for home. Tinubu must go. Venezuela go happen for Naija."
