Politicians or not, Nigerians will pay the same prices for commodities and food, according to a recent comment made by former senator Dino Melaye on his official X account. Melaye represents the Kogi West Senatorial district.
In her capacity as the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate in 2023, Melaye emphasized the lack of marketplaces where members of the ruling party can purchase goods at a reduced cost.
In his statement, Melaye underlined that essential commodities like indomie, diesel, rice, cement, and bread will be accessible to Nigerians at the same prices, regardless of their political affiliations.
“Happy Sunday, fellow countrymen and women. Last last, there is no APC or ’emilokan’ voter’s market. We will all buy indomie, diesel, rice, cement, and bread at the same price,” he stated.
Melaye’s statement connects with the ongoing economic challenges facing Nigerians under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
As a vocal critic of Tinubu’s governance, Melaye has consistently connected the nation’s challenges to the electorate’s decision to vote for the former Governor of Lagos State.
