In a recent statement, Dino Melaye criticized all past and present political office holders in Nigeria, including himself. He emphasized that “the God of the poor” will judge them all based on their handling of Nigeria’s resources.
His reaction was triggered by the widespread hunger experienced by Nigerians during the lockdown, underscored by the lack of adequate welfare support as the country endeavors to control the spread of Coronavirus.
Melaye, who currently serves as the senator representing Kogi-West senatorial district, expressed his sentiments on Twitter:
EVERYONE WHO HELD AND IS HOLDING ANY POLITICAL OFFICE IN NIGERIA WHETHER ELECTIVE OR APPOINTED INCLUDING ME HAVE FAIL.WE SOLD CRUDE OIL FOR 64 YEARS BUT WE COULDN’T FEED OUR CITIZENS FOR JUST 2 WEEKS OF LOCKDOWN!! WELL, THE GOD OF THE POOR WILL JUDGE US ALL. ITS TIME TO REBOOT..
