Dino Melaye Reacts To Video Showing Abuja Worshippers Shouting ‘Ba Ma Yi’ As Tinubu Leaves Mosque

According to the report by Daily Post on November 14, 2026, former Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has joined the debate surrounding a viral recording of President Bola Tinubu’s visit to a mosque in Abuja, where some individuals were heard shouting words interpreted as a rejection of the President.

The incident reportedly happened after Friday prayers at the renovated Shehu Shagari Central Mosque in Area 1, Garki. A video circulating online captured the President departing the worship centre as some Muslim youths shouted “Ba Ma Yi”, a Hausa expression indicating disapproval.

Melaye shared his reaction on X, describing the gathering as an expression of opposition to Tinubu and his reported 2027 re-election ambition.

Social media personality Ahmed Umar, popularly known as Ahmed Au, also commented, linking the incident to public dissatisfaction with the administration.

However, presidential media aide Bayo Onanuga disputed the interpretation of the footage, insisting that Tinubu received a friendly reception from worshippers.

He subsequently published another recording showing the President waving towards people as he departed the mosque.

The conflicting reactions have generated discussions about what actually happened during the President’s visit.
