Dino Melaye, a senator from Kogi west, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to the national assembly as a misplacement anger, accusing him of introducing corruption into the national assembly.

Obasanjo had written a letter to the national assembly accusing it of insincerity for its planned purchase of 469 cars worth N4.7bn.

But Melaye, in a riposte on Thursday, said the former president introduced corruption into the national assembly in his bid to run for a third term in office.

“I have tremendous respect for president Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo. Elder statesman, respected pan Africanist and committed patriot. I went through the letter written to all senators and members of the house of representatives. The letter I can see is a misplacement of anger,” he said.

“Our leader is mistaking the eighth national assembly as the same senate assembly that defrauded him in 2007. Those who collected his money and refused to implement the 3rd term agenda. I appeal to baba that we are not the ones please. After nine years of that bribery saga, the first of its kind, I expect forgiveness to have taken place.

“There was the case of bribery introduced by the Obasanjo regime in the desperate attempt to remove speaker Ghali Umar Na’abba from office then. In fact, there was open display of that bribery money on the floor of the house. That government exposed the national assembly to corruption and easy money. I hope this is not in an attempt to cover up and distract attention from the Halliburton and Siemens corruption allegations.

“While I am against corruption anywhere in Nigeria, I will not support accusations based on anger and vindictiveness. The eighth senate should also look inwardly and purge herself of all the deliberate misgivings of the past. Nigeria must work and we must support the anti corruption stand of the Buhari administration. God bless Nigeria.”

Naija jagajaga

Truth be told...... but what is he doing to curb the corruption in the senate?

Dino ma nigga

Please face the topic of discussion, publish your recurrent expenditure, you can probe Obj if you want.

PUBLISH YOUR EXPENDITURE

This is very typical of a PDP-minded politician. They try as much as they can to rubbish the image of their critic, discredit him and deflect focus from the real issues at stake.

Jonathan and his gang of thieves used this silly tactic and are still using it.
They have taught their herd of hypnotic wailers how to tow this line of ignominy.

You sure?

OK I will love you to prove if very well

This dude was acting like a tout yesterday at the inauguration ceremony of bello.

Lost lots of respect for him yesterday. Even market women don't do what he was doing yesterday on stage.

According to PDP and their like-minds, the only defence against allegation of corruption is to tell Nigerians that you're not the only corrupt person.

Dino u don finish baba politely oooo
