Senator Dino Melaye has said that all political office holders in Nigeria, past and present, including himself, have failed Nigerians.
The former Kogi lawmaker made the blunt remark on Tuesday in a post on Twitter as he continued his disapproval of the gradual easing of the coronavirus-induced lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“Everyone who held and is holding any political office in Nigeria whether elective or appointed including me has fail,” Melaye wrote.
“We sold crude oil for 64 years but we couldn’t feed our citizens for just 2 weeks of lockdown!! Well, the God of the poor will judge us all. It’s time to reboot.”
Normal activities have gradually begun in Lagos and the FCT following the president’s order after a five-week lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Ogun State, however, will begin its gradual easing on May 11 after failing to simultaneously begin the lockdown with Lagos and the FCT.
