Former Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff during the Second Republic, Lt. Gen.  Ipoola Alani Akinrinade (Retd), has described members of the National Assembly as a “bunch of clowns and the most dishonourable people I knew in the world”.

The 77-year-old retired General, who later served as the Chief of Defence Staff between 1980 and 1981 under former President Shehu Shagari, in a video released by online news portal, Sahara Reporters, on Thursday, expressed disgust at the viral funny video of the Aje Kun Iya song by Senator Dino Melaye.

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?” the elder statesman reacted disgustingly.

“All these clowns are there and we are saying that we should not talk about them, but we should call them honourable. They are the most dishonourable people I know in the world,” he added.

Melaye had posted a video of the hilarious song online after he was cleared by the Senate Ethics Committee over the legitimacy of his Ahmadu Bello University’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography.
