Former House of Representative member and a Senator-elect, Dino Melaye,
has accused the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, of running the
most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria.
In an
interview with Premium Times, Melaye, who was recently elected to
represent the Kogi West senatorial district, said the government of
Goodluck Jonathan, massively promoted corruption.
“Jonathan is the promoter of corruption,” Mr. Melaye said.
“I
am telling you that the Government of Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan
is the most corrupt in Nigerian history but (who) we have as
president-elect of this country today (Muhammadu Buhari); the man I see
as the nemesis of corruption.
“Change! I am an advocate of anti-corruption and for me if I enter office, I am going to do it more this time around.
“More
importantly, now that we have a government that is going to have zero
tolerance for corruption, we must as legislators carry out our functions
from any form of sacrifice.
“Either at the national assembly, we will be drastically checked.
“Legislators need to check if they are on the side of the people or side of their pockets.
“I
started it and I have advocated this even before the elections, and
during the inductions training and I said there’s an urgent need to cut
down government spending from all ramifications both legislature and
judiciary, and more importantly, the allowance of the national assembly.
”They must be content because you have to live a life of sacrifice. You
have to come with clean hands and show some form of sacrifice to
Nigerians, because for us to stand on high morale pedestal to carry out
transparent legislative activities, we must show that we are the masses
of this country and demonstrate change. We must act the change we preach
and by the way, to start we legislators must cut down our own pay
reasonably.
“If we supervise the MDAs, N3billion will not be
budgeted for the travels of Mr. President in a year. Where is the
president going? Is he the supervisor of the world? And at the end of
the year there’s no money returned to the treasury. So these are the
types of leakages that I expect legislators to come out and ameliorate
this time and fight and check corruption so you cannot check it without
making a sacrifice.
“We either serve or perish in destructive
selfishness. Some of us have resolved to be the people and make
democracy, government of the people, by the people and for the people,
and not to practice as it is right now. In this government, democracy is
greediocracy; government of the greedy, by the greedy and for the
greedy.”
