Senator Otunba Dino Melaye is in the news again! This time, he has not challenged the Lion and Jewel of Bourdillion to a fight.
Latest
information is that Melaye, Chairman of the Senate Committee on the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), representing Kogi West in the National
Assembly on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has
bought a classic Rolls Royce estimate at $400,000 (N180 million).
A report revealed that the Rolls Royce was acquired two years ago in Las Vegas, United States of America.
The
picture of the Rolls Royce was secretly taken in his garage, during a
visit to his residence in the high brow Maitama District of the FCT in
Abuja, during a visit on Wednesday.
A source close to the
Senator described Senator Dino Melaye as “very smart, he actually
got the car from Las Vegas two years ago. At that time, he was busy
committed with anti-graft crusade as Executive Secretary of
Anti-Corruption Network (ACN) but decided to keep it in secrecy.”
Checks
have confirmed that the Rolls Royce which is a 1923 model is 93 years
old, and is used by only a few persons in a special grade.
While
no reason has been given why Dino Melaye had decided to keep it for the
last two years unannounced, it is believed that he would steal the show
in the National Assembly whenever he brings the car.
