“The Buhari Agenda Is the Greatest Scam That Came Out Of Africa” – Dino Melaye

• Melaye was among those that canvassed support for Buhari’s presidential ambition, having dumped the PDP for the ruling APC

A former lawmaker who represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Dino Melaye, on Friday expressed regret for supporting the candidacy of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

President Buhari contested the election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) six years ago and defeated ex-President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – an historic election that saw the opposition floor the ruling, a first in Nigeria.

Six years down the line, the former federal lawmaker and PDP chieftain asked God and Nigerians for forgiveness, noting that this current administration is the worst in the nation’s history.

“I apologise to God almighty who is the supreme controller of the universe and Nigerians for supporting Buhari,” Melaye told Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“The Buhari agenda is the greatest scam that came out of Africa. The Buhari presidency in 2015 is the greatest scam that came out of Africa.

“The subject Buhari is the greatest common that came out of Africa. Once I was blind, now I can see. How can one remain in a political party and support the presidency with what is happening today in Nigeria? I regret seriously supporting that because we were scammed,” Melaye stated.
