Melaye said, “To start with, I apologise to God Almighty who is the Supreme Controller of the universe, and to Nigerians for supporting Buhari. The Buhari agenda is the greatest scam that came out of Africa. The Buhari presidency in 2015 is the greatest scam that came out of Africa because the subject-matter Buhari is the greatest con that came out of Africa.”

Melaye further said he regrets playing a part in bringing the present administration to power.

“Once I was blind, now I can see. How can one remain in a political party or support a president with what is happening today in Nigeria? How? So, I regret very seriously because we were scammed.”

He stressed that the ruling APC is not a party to be reckoned with, arguing that the leading party lacks structure in which a nation can progress politically.

Melaye said, “I spoke like this even when I was a member of the APC and because I am a Christian and the Bible is superior to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and it talks about unequal yokes, darkness and light don’t concur, so I had to leave the party.”
