Dino Melaye, in a statement released described the exit of the four Ministers who were asked to go as a vindication of his anti-corruption crusade.
The statement read thus:
“I am vindicated. Power truly belongs to the people,” Melaye said, adding, “When we protested against two of these ex-ministers, many abused us; but today we are happy.
“We salute the courage of Mr. President, although he delayed too much because they ought to have been fired before now.
“We submitted a report indicting the three ministers to the United States last year.
“Stella Oduah, Godsday Orubebe and Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke. Deziani too must go. The President must take hard decisions in the interest of Nigerians.
“Now that they have been sacked, we will institute criminal charges against Orubebe and Oduah. The voice of the people is the voice of God.”
He however faulted the continued stay of Diezani Alison-Madueke as a Minister, vowing that his group will soon institute criminal proceedings against the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe and his former counterpart in the Ministry of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.
