Former lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye has advised President Muhammadu Buhari against spending $1.5bn on renovating the Port Harcourt refinery.

Recall that on Wednesday, the Federal Executive Council (FEC), approved $1.5 billion for the repair of the Port Harcourt refinery.

Reacting to the decision, Melaye on his Twitter page expressed that this was a move to “appropriate our common matrimony to a few individuals” and called for a reversal of the decision.

“You want to use over N700 billion to renovate a dead refinery. Port Harcourt refinery is dead. Not only moribund, but dead,” Melaye said.
