• Dino Melaye, the spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign council, has been dragged for donating N500,000 cash to a foundation
• Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the AAC, mocked the PDP leader while associating the cash donation to the new CBN decision to redesign the naira notes
• Melaye promised the foundation to be donating N500,000 annually, and the first batch was with him in cash, but Sowore, who took the podium after Melaye, reminded the audience of the CBN policies while stating that politicians now go around with cash

Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, has mocked Dino Melaye, the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council.

Sowore made the mockery when Melaye donated N500,000 notes to a foundation, linking it to the naira redesign that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently announced.

This happened at a memorial service/evening of tributes organised for the late human rights activist Ariyo Dare-Atoye, on Saturday, November 5.

Melaye had pledged to continue to donate N500,000 annually to the foundation and that he had brought the first batch of it in cash to the organisation.

But Sowore, who took the podium after Melaye, quickly reacted to the donation.

He said:

"You can already see the effect of the Central Bank’s re-designation (sic). Politicians are carrying cash. Let me say this, this is the political season and I am not here for politics.”
