He has also been involved in series of altercations with fellow All Progressives Congress (APC) members at the National Assembly and beyond.

But he has now been crowned the most outstanding senator of the year during an awards ceremony in Nigeria’s feederal capital, a sign that some of his outbursts were either not seriously considered negative or were not negative in the real sense.

In an exclusive interview with NAIJ.com recently, Melaye revealed that he remains one of the most investigated Nigerians in history yet he has not been indicted of any criminal activity.

Melaye also recently described President Muhammadu Buhari’s medium term expenditure framework and fiscal strategy paper (MTEF) as a fraud.
While passing his damning verdict on the MTEF on Wednesday, November 23, during the Senate’s deliberation on the document, described the document as “a lie, not truthful and is not factual”.
