  "summary": "Former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has criticized President Bola Tinubu, comparing him to former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Melaye, an African Democratic Congress chieftain, accused Tinubu of implementing a temporary fuel price reduction as a form of vote-buying ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The Nigerian government announced a 30-day fuel price discount at NNPC filling stations, but the actual pump price remained unchanged at N1,370 per litre.",
