Nigerian lawmakers are bunch of clowns – Gen. Akinrinade

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (retd) has said members of the National Assembly are “bunch of clowns.”
Akinrinade said this in a video released by online medium, Sahara Reporters, on Thursday.

He said the lawmakers “are the most dishonourable people I knew in the world”.

He also lampooned Senator representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye over his viral video where he sang a song to spite his detractors.
He said, “My state cannot afford a governor, that is the truth of the matter. And my country cannot afford the number of the so-called people in the National Assembly.


 We cannot afford them. That is why they can be singing empty… Aje ku iya ni oje. Our own senator. A man representing us.
“All these clowns are there and we are saying that we should not talk about them, we should call them honourable. They are the most dishonourable people I know in the world.”
