Dino Melaye, a former lawmaker representing Kogi West Senatorial District, has become a topic of discussion among Nigerians on social media over his outfit to the national convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which took place on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
The former lawmaker, known for his fancy lifestyle, posted a series of photos of himself at the ADC convention wearing a black shirt, cap, sunglasses, and extremely wide, flowing tan trousers.

"At the convention ground," he wrote in a caption of one of the pictures.
Melaye's pictures have since gone viral, sparking reactions from some Nigerian netizens, who highlighted his flamboyant outfit as unserious and fashion-focused rather than substantive for a political opposition gathering that wants to unseat the ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC).
The criticism against the former senator's outfit comes a few days after social media commentator, Ossai Success, criticised him for wearing a Fendi shirt reportedly worth around £1,426 (N2.6 million) at a protest venue.
According to Ossai, the shirt's value could create jobs for hundreds of youths amid high unemployment in the country.
He also expressed disappointment at Melaye for wearing such an expensive shirt at a protest and demanding a better Nigeria.
