“Earlier today, a disreputable former member of the House of
Representatives, Mr Dino Melaye brought a handful of demonstrators to
the Federal Ministry of Finance who conducted themselves in an unruly
manner… We have it on good authority that Mr Melaye’s group was
sponsored by some of the indicted oil barons who are currently being
investigated and prosecuted for
subsidy fraud. Their allegation to wrong
subsidy payments made by the Ministry is a mere ruse to conceal their
true motives.
“The Melaye demonstration was ostensibly to call for the resignation
of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance who
is well known for fighting the fraudulent oil barons whose names were
published by the Federal Ministry of Finance for various breaches of the
subsidy regime… Nigerians are, of course, not deceived by the antics of
Mr Melaye who has no known pedigree as a civil society activist or even
a reputation for honour or common decency.
