Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has challenged President Bola Tinubu to a contest on Quranic citations following the President’s ongoing Umrah pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
Melaye made the challenge in a post on his X handle on Monday, declaring his readiness to compete with Tinubu in citing passages from the Quran when he returns from the Middle East.

He wrote, “Now that Alhaji Bola Tinubu is in Umrah. Immediately he comes back, I challenge him to a Quranic citation competition with me. No one can mock God. SDM.”
The development follows a post by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, detailing Tinubu’s religious activities in Saudi Arabia, including his visit to the Holy Ka’abah in Makkah.
