Senator representing Kogi west, Dino Melaye, has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to the National Assembly, describing it as a misplaced anger.
In Obasanjo’s letter to the assembly, he condemned its plan to purchase 469 cars worth N4.7billion.
Melaye on Thursday, January, 28, who acknowledged his respect for Obasanjo, accused him of corruption.
He said the ex-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.
Melaye continued; “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.
