Dino Melaye Fires Back At Okonjo Iweala by pellegrini1989: 7:58am On Nov 08, 2012
Former member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, yesterday took to his Twitter account in a swift reply to the press statement issued by the office of the Minister of Finance, after a demonstration he led some hours earlier in the FCT against the ministry.
And just this morning, he blasts again saying I will sue Okonjo for Libel,she will have to mention those she claimed sponsored us.
In a statement signed by Paul Nwabuikwu, spokesman to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Dino Melaye was described as a “disreputable” individual adding that “Nigerians are, of course, not deceived by the antics of Mr Melaye who has not known pedigree as a civil society activist or even a reputation for honour or common decency.”
He was accused of carrying out a protest sponsored by oil barons indicted and are currently being investigated and prosecuted for subsidy fraud.
In a swift reaction to Iweala’s release, Melaye in one of his tweets said: “We asked why will (minister of) finance pay oil thieves without due diligence and scrutiny, so how does this relate to sponsorship from oil thieves?”
The Kogi-born politician on Wednesday piloted a group of protesters under the aegis of Anti-Corruption Network to the Finance Ministry in Abuja, calling for the resignation of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
They blamed her of introducing bad economic policies and wrong subsidy payments, an accusation the Minister strongly denies.
