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.
