Former Nigerian politician Dino Melaye has said he would not be criticising the government if his wealth had been acquired through illicit means or by stealing government funds.
Melaye made the remark while speaking about his wealth and his willingness to criticise government policies and actions.
“If my wealth is ill-gotten, or if I have stolen government money, I will not be criticising government. They would have long come after me,” he said.
The former lawmaker’s statement suggests that his criticism of government is connected to his position that he has not accumulated his wealth through the theft of public funds.
Melaye has remained an outspoken figure in Nigerian political discourse, frequently commenting on political developments and government policies.
His latest remark has also drawn attention to the broader debate around public accountability, political criticism and the sources of wealth among public figures in Nigeria.
