The Chairman, Senate Adhoc Committee on Media and Publicity,
Mr. Dino Melaye, has defended his open support for Mrs. Toyin
Saraki, wife of the Senate President, when she honoured an
invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The Senator, representing Kogi West in the National Assembly,
said he had no regrets joining Saraki at the EFCC office.

Melaye said he went to the EFCC office “as a private investigator
and an anti-corruption crusader,” to find out the extent of
culpability of his “sister and friend” since she was not told the
content of the petition against her.

He said he was arrested 14 times in one year by the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan because of his commitment to seeing a better Nigeria

He said, “The invitation of Mrs. Toyin Saraki by the EFCC, however, is not a criminal indictment. I will not abandon my friend because of (a) mere EFCC invitation.

“I also went there as a private investigator and an anti-corruption crusader to find out the extent of culpability of my sister and friend since she was not told the content of the petition against her before her appearance before the EFCC.”

Melaye, in a statement entitled, ‘Stand up for what you believe in regardless of the popularity or acceptance of your belief, which was obtained by Saturday PUNCH in Abuja, challenged anyone to controvert his claim that he had never taken any government contract, be it at the local, state or federal level.

He said, “I chose to react to the attacks I have received from my
brothers, sisters and fellow citizens because I was seen in the
headquarters of EFCC with my sister, Mrs. Toyin Saraki.

“I will start by saying that my struggle to fight corruption in Nigeria was not an assignment or a paid job. It was borne out of passion and desire to build a new Nigeria where justice, equity and egalitarianism become a new order.

“I was arrested 14 times in one year by the administration of ex-
President Goodluck Jonathan because I desire a country where
my grandchildren (that I may never know) will dwell in a nation
where life is already structured for them.

“I cannot throw away my sacrifice of being beaten and my clothes torn on the floor of the House of Representatives because of fighting against corruption. I have come too far to compromise my stand on corruption and corrupt persons.

“I make bold here to challenge anybody who will controvert the
truth that I have never done any government contract, either at the LG, state or federal levels. It is not criminal to do so, but he
who must come to equity must come with clean hands.

“If my father is invited by the EFCC, I will go there; if a prima facie case is established against him, I will shout for his prosecution. So my great people, I have no regret following my friend and sister to the EFCC. If you are my friend, you are my friend.”

Hahahahaha

Goodluck to you Mr Dino. I hope you went with camera to take pictures for your status updates.
Remember to tag your 'friends'
The "Femi Fani Kayode" of APC; talking like a parrot.
Dino is a disaster in APC.

Unserious element.

what more cannot do, more money will do

This man is a two faced clown. He wanted to find out the content of the petition, so why didn't he just call her on the phone later that evening.

Rubbish!!!

This guy could be the worst mistake APC ever made. Such a childish gbefu.

4 now abi? When they find her guilty you will become her "former private investigator"! No be dino wey I sabi! Lolz!!!

This man as well as the rest of them that escorted her should be ashamed of themselves.
For melaye, he has already shown his true colors so I'm not surprised...afterall he only seeks to satisfy his stomach.

I dslike this chameleon with passion

Oniranu. Private investigator indeed. It's amazing just how far Nigerian politicians go debase themselves for power and pecuniary gains. Just for committee chairman, you turn private investigator. If u really were anything near a private investigator, you would have seen that the Saraki's corruption antecedents stink to the high heavens. Well, congrats. U've gotten ur committee chairmanship. Now can u go and sit down in one corner never to be seen or heard again?

I never knew dino was a certified private investigator, so much for the so called "CHANGED" dino melaye...SMH

Fool!

This is what you get when every "tom, di'ck n harry" come together to start chanting change...SMH

This is one of the crooks apc welcomed with open arms after pdp weeded them out from their party.

It's okay.

Maleye Malaye my guy.
you nearly made sense. Do you know where you missed it?
Since it has been widely reported and largely believed too by Nigerians that the women made away with a lot of public funds, if you have corroborated that position in your 'private investigating' and this published statement, you would not have needed to make anymore sacrifices like being arrested, fighting on the floor of the National Assembly or shouting hawk to be crowned an 'Anti-corruption Crusader 1' of your family.

But from your loud noise, you have neither admitted nor denied her culpability or indictment.

DINO MALAYE, which one you deh?

Can't you make a little effort (since you are already used to making much) to be different from your family members in the extended Change Family?

You have merely succeeded in providing to Nigerians some more that playing to the gallery, kleptomania, calling white n lack and black white, loud-mouthedness as well as diarrhoea of the vocal cavity, visionlessness and a-people-devoid-of-integrity are all hereditary traits.

Accept our sympathy.

Dino and others simply road on Buhari's coat tails .
Tinubu and APC. Dropped the ball on this one. They did not do due diligence on many positions/aspirants down the chain

Prima Facie"a clear evidence".

I have always known that noise makers do turn out to be like this. Dino Malaye's supporters should know now that this hypocritical man is fighting for his stomach, not theirs.

No man is an idle man, an idle man works for poverty.
May the LORD bless d fruit of your labour in this month and the months ahead in JESUS name....
