Dino Melaye discloses unique source of political funding

Responding to the accusations, Melaye said that he was not privy to any such financial dealings, stating: "I'm not a staff of the EFCC or ICPC, I wouldn't know if there was money, but the issue of if at my level I cannot finance a primary then there's a problem somewhere. But definitely, God bankrolled me - I bank with the almighty God."

When pressed on how much he gave delegates to vote for him, Melaye made a surprising revelation, "I gave them anointing oil and it did the magic. I just told you my belief in Philippians chapter 4 verse 19, that God shall supply all my needs according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus, and I'm telling you that."

Melaye won the People's Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primaries in Kogi State on Sunday, April 16, 2023. The former senator scored 313 votes to defeat Idoko Ilonah who scored 124 votes.

While some may be skeptical of Melaye's reliance on spiritual aid in his political campaigns, it cannot be denied that the controversial figure has maintained a significant presence in Nigerian politics despite numerous legal battles and scandals.

His unorthodox methods may raise eyebrows, but for now, it seems that Melaye's faith in the divine has served him well.
