Speaking on ARISE Television, on Monday, Senator Dino Melaye accused the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of plunging Nigerians into massive hunger despite securing billions of dollars in loans.
In his words, “There is massive hunger in the land. Why is the president borrowing $1.7 billion from the World Bank? Why has the senate approved $21 billion so far with many others coming for consideration?”
“This government is one of the most reckless governments in the history of this country. The president who said he wanted to come and curb wastages bought a yacht.
“That yacht he bought has never been to the perimeters, the territorial areas of Nigeria—it’s been between Monaco and Paris. And what do we need a yacht for in a time of austerity and pervasive hunger?
“He has borrowed like no other president in the history of the country. If you are making more money, then why are you borrowing? We will not be surprised if the president starts borrowing from Opay and Moniepoint very soon,” he said.
