Former Kogi senator, Dino Melaye, has seek for forgiveness for previously backing the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Speaking on Politics Today on Friday, Melaye acknowledged his past alignment with the ruling party but said he had since turned a new leaf.
“Once I was blind, now I can see. I regret in totality.
“Just like you confess your sins daily in the Lord’s prayer, I ask for forgiveness.
“Anyone who has moved with the devil, anyone who has aligned with an unholy tendency, should regret it,” the former lawmaker said.
Melaye slammed the APC administration for worsening socio-economic conditions, saying hunger and poverty have reached dangerous levels across Nigeria.
“You don’t need a prophet to tell you what is happening in this country. It is visible even to the blind and audible to the deaf.
“The hunger in the land is shattered. People are dying of malnutrition in rural communities.
“Take a trip today to your village and just announce that you want to share two bags of rice.
“If you are not careful, there will be dead casualties from the struggle to get something,” he said.
Turning to 2027 politics, Melaye said the ADC was focused on building a stable party platform that would produce a credible presidential candidate to defeat Tinubu.
“Especially those of us in the ADC, we need to create a comfortable, stable platform.
“I believe that platform will produce a candidate that will unseat President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in 2027,” he said.
