Addressing the possibility of going head-to-head with Tinubu, Melaye maintained that victory would be certain if the electoral process is transparent.
“Let’s go on a free and fair election, I will b+at him flat. He won’t even stand up,” he said. When asked to clarify where such a contest would take place, he responded:
“In the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Let him allow a free and fair contest, and if he doesn’t allow it, we will make him conduct our election.”

Melaye also spoke on internal party dynamics, stressing that he is not driven by desperation but by a desire to see national progress. He noted that he would support whoever emerges through due process within the party.
“We must send Tinubu away. Whoever emerges through consensus or primary, I will support. We are not desperate; we are only interested in raising this country,” he added.
