The
Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, has declared that he is
not afraid to tell the truth on anybody, whether on President Buhari,
Senate President Bukola Saraki, or even his father.
Melaye
added that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is moving towards
failure in 2019 if it fails to resolve ongoing crisis.
Speaking on BBC Hausa, Melaye alleged that members of the party were sabotaging one another.
“There
are many crises in APC, let the truth be told. Everybody is sabotaging
one another. Something should be done, otherwise, the funeral trumpet
may be blown on APC.
“I
have to say the truth. There are problems in this party. Look at how
senator Misau was taken to court, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki
was also taken to court, then you said we should not tell the truth?
“I am
not afraid to tell the truth on anybody, whether on Buhari, Saraki, or
even my father. I have to speak against injustice. APC and PDP patronize
the same market,” he said.
He
further stated that his recall process was a handiwork of Kogi governor
Yahaya Bello, stressing that he would only return to his constituency
when his tenure expires on May 20, 2019.
“Are
you asking me about my recall process? I will only return to my
constituency on May 20, 2019 because I enjoy massive love from my
constituents. The matter is also at Supreme Court.
“This
is all a handiwork of Yahaya Bello, just because I advised him to pay
salary arrears to Kogi State workers. You are all aware how his
government, despite receiving two trenches of Paris Club refund fund,
failed to pay salary for several months.
“We
can recall how a worker committed suicide for lack of salary. Hunger and
poverty don’t know any political party. So, for telling him this, that
is why he is witch-hunting me.
“This
man is not working in Kogi State. You cannot show even one Kilometre
road constructed by his administration, and he said we should not tell
the truth. I must tell the truth even if I would be killed”.
