The Senator representing Kogi West,
Dino Melaye has declared 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, especially political office holders 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”.
