Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers and ex-Minister of Transportation, has paid a courtesy visit to the mansion of the former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former senator of Kogi West senatorial district, Dino Melaye.
Melaye, who is now a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), shared clips of the visit on his social media page on Monday, July 6, and the former governor of Rivers was seen admiring some of the worldly things in the mansion of the former senator.

Recall that the ADC recently announced Amaechi as its 2027 vice presidential candidate, a declaration he has neither accepted nor denied publicly.
However, his visit to Dino Melaye, who has been a strong campaigner for the ADC flagbearer and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, suggests his acceptance. He recently visited Atiku as well.
Nigerians react as Amaechi visits Dino Melaye
After the clip of his visit was shared on social media, some Nigerians took to the comment section and expressed mixed feelings about the development. Below are some of their comments:
Tobi Akinbo J. challenged Melaye to take the former governor to tour his project in Kogi West:
"You didn't take him to see projects you initiated and completed for the betterment of your people, but showing him interior decor and material things. What is an achievement to you, egbon? Look at Senator Natasha's achievements for her community and have some shame."
Babs J Nurain criticised the ADC chieftain:
"What a shame! A show of wealth! When many Nigerians are living in abject poverty. 7 McDonald's restaurants, franchised in the United States of America and not a single Nigerian employee. A show of shame. Trust me, we shall overcome this madness in Nigeria."

Olanusi Akintayo alleged that the house is the constituency project of the former senator:
"This house is Dino Melaye's Constituency project for all the periods he spent in the National Assembly (House of Representatives & Senate). Oku ooooo! Omoye!"
Jon took a swipe at the former PDP governorship candidate:
"So which projects did you show him? If you are not shameless, this meeting would have been held in a conference room or event centre you built. But it is being held in your house, which you used stolen state resources to build."
Abiodun Adeparusi makes a cryptic criticism of Melaye:
"Hope you take time to tutor him on how and where to get those toys and machines you exhibited? Jestering is your calling"

Dino Melaye denies dumping Atiku
Legit.ng earlier reported that a chieftain of the ADC and former governorship candidate under the PDP, Dino Melaye, denied dumping the camp of the party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Melaye, who has been an ardent supporter of Atiku, said the video showing him supporting Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate in the 2027 election, was AI-generated.
The ADC chieftain explained that there is no going back on his support for Atiku, while expressing confidence that the former vice president would become victorious in the forthcoming elections.
