Popular Nigerian Senator, Dino Melaye, has said he will not glorify the ruling party, APC, with an answer over allegations it made that he, SDM, is affiliated with suspected fraudster, Hushpuppi.

Over the weekend, Yekini Nabena, the deputy National Spokesperson of the APC, released a statement, making strong claims against the opposition PDP.

in the statement, he called on EFCC and other security agencies to investigate the links between Hushpuppi and some PDP stalwarts.

According to Nabena, some of the PDP chieftains like Dino Melaye, Atiku Abubakar, Yakubu Dogara, and Bukola Saraki have been photographed with Hushpuppi and so they must be investigated for any possible links.

“Criminal Conspiracy Linking “Hushpuppi” With PDP Leadership Should Be Investigated   Reports of the criminal conspiracy linking the top echelon of the opposition @OfficialPDPNig with Ramon Olorunwa Abbas also known as “Ray Hushpuppi who was recently arrested along with associate(s) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and extradited to the United States of America to face trial over cyber-enabled fraud and Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes should be a matter of serious interest to relevant authorities in Nigeria.

“PDP leadership turned Dubai into their “Strategic” meeting place ahead of the 2019 general elections in Nigeria and “Hushpuppi’s” affinity with the PDP leadership is not mere coincidence,” Nabena said in his statement.

“At different times, “Hushpuppi” was been photographed in Dubai meeting with the PDP’s 2019 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Yakubu Dogara, Dino Melaye and other PDP stalwarts,” he said.

‘We note that the EFCC  has already declared the arraigned Instagram celebrity wanted over fraud allegations. However, the EFCC, Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and other sister agencies must investigate money laundering reports linking some PDP leaders and financiers to the Dubai-based international criminal ring.

“While relevant authorities investigate the nature of their relationship and business partnership, we also challenge the PDP leadership to do same by opening up on the nature of the relationship, particularly the kind of services the arrested “Hushpuppi” provided them.

“In the leadup to the Edo and Ondo governorship elections, we renew our call against monetised elections and vote-buying schemes which the PDP has serially deployed in elections,” he added.

Reacting to Nabena’s statement, Dino took to his IG page to say that he will not glorify the APC his Instagram page, he wrote

”I will not glorify a religiously lunatic character nor the caretaker party(APC) with a response on Hushpuppy. SDM”
