APC funeral trumpet may sound soon —Melaye

Embattled Kogi West Senator Dino Melaye has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may soon meets its doom following the many crisis rocking the party at all levels.

The senator stated this when he spoke on British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Hausa, regretting how members of the party, most especially those in political offices could be sabotaging one another.

Melaye said, “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.”

On the process to recall him by his constituency, Melaye reiterated that his state governor, Yahaya Bello was orchestrating that to witch-hunt him, but said that he would overcome the challenge.

“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 (Bello) 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”.
