Senator Dino
Melaye appears to have courted trouble following his purchase of a new supercar
which is worth about N180million.
Dino Melaye
representing Kogi central senatorial district is known to own a fleet of luxury
and antiquated cars worth billions of naira.
Senator
Melaye has at least 28 of the expensive cars parked at his upmarket residence
in Maitama Abuja, according to the news website, Sahara Reporters. In February,
Melaye, who once led a nongovernmental organisation campaigning against
corruption, posed in a 2015 Slingshot estimated to cost about N4.78 Million. In
September, he arrived at Senate function at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja, in a
Mercedes Benz 190 (1958 Model) and a Hindustan Ambassador, used for his
security aides. The Benz had a customized number plate “KOGI DINO 10”.
But his
latest addition, a 93-year-old Rolls Royce estimated at N180 million, amid a
national recession that has left millions of his compatriots struggling to feed
daily, has angered some Nigerians. Nigerians, angered by the senator’s purchase
of the exotic car, rained curses on Melaye for what they termed wastage when
many Nigerians are suffering. Others urged Melaye to pay attention to those who
voted for him rather wasting money to acquire vanities.
The latest
expensive car bought by Senator Dino Melaye, has been discovered to be fake
according to a finding conducted by Sahara Reporters. The report said
controversial Melaye has been parading a cheap MG-TD replica of a Rolls Royce
car worth N180 million. The report said Melaye’s associate had circulated a
statement that the senator bought the classic Rolls Royce estimated at $400,000
(N180 million). According to the statement, the 1923 model Rolls Royce which is
93 years old is a rare collectible item that is not only scarce but very expensive.
