Erstwhile Special Adviser to then
president, Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, has
observed that the lawmaker representing Kogi West on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Sen. Dino Melaye, has proven to be more of an
opposition leader to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari than his
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, counterparts.
In an article published yesterday
and entitled, ‘Where is the Nigerian Opposition?’ Abati stated that while
Melaye is playing the role of opposition leader, “One or two PDP Senators,
along with some other APC members, in comparison, have since acquired a
reputation for going to the Red Chamber to sleep during plenary sessions!”
“APC Senator Dino Melaye has
functioned more as an opposition leader than any PDP Senator with his
persistent interrogation of Executive policies and actions,” the former
presidential spokesman wrote.
DAILY POST had reported Melaye as
disclosing last month that whereas the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, borrowed
N6trn in its 16 years in power, the federal government led by his party has
borrowed N11trn within three years.
He had before then slammed the
ruling APC for failing to meet the expectations of Nigerians, adding, “I say
this without fear or favour. We have more complaints in the APC and even in the
Presidency than service rendered. We cannot as a people continue like this.”
