Former Senator Melaye Criticizes Government Spending on Religious Pilgrimages

Former Senator Dino Melaye has taken a swipe at the Nigerian government's allocation of resources towards sponsoring religious pilgrimages, particularly when the country is facing critical infrastructure, education, technology, and industrialization challenges.

In an interview, Melaye expressed his concern over the billions of naira spent on sending Nigerians to Mecca and Jerusalem when the nation's basic needs are not being met.

Government Resources Should Focus on National Development

Melaye believes that the government should prioritize infrastructure development, education, technology, industrialization, and economic growth over religious pilgrimages.

The former senator argued that the Federal Government should reconsider its spending priorities and direct its resources towards addressing the pressing issues that affect the lives of Nigerians.

Quoting Jerusalem and Mount Sinai as an Example

During the interview, Melaye used the example of a notorious brothel near Mount Sinai as a point to emphasize his stance on government spending priorities.

He stated that even close to Mount Sinai, there is an 'ashawo joint', suggesting that the government's focus on religious pilgrimages is misplaced.
