In a chat with Punch, Dino Melaye revealed more about the current economic recession:

Q: Many believe that you are young and therefore they query source of your stupendous wealth. How did you get your money? A: I don't know about stupendous wealth,but I will say I am comfortable Nigerian and I have never got any contract from the government contract in my life. I have also never taken any political appointment in my life or position where I have control over government funds.And I challenge anyone who has any criminal allegation against me to actually come out and present it. With the vigour with which I fought the administration of GEJ, if I had any skeleton in my cupboard,by now it would have been exposed. I am a very transparent Nigerian. I have never stolen from government and i can say this without fear.But at the same time , God is the ultimate giver of legitimate wealth to tap into the anionting or getting resources from god should consult me. Q: Why Do You Love cars? A: I love automobiles and everybody can be passionate about a particular thing. Some can be passionate about homosexuality.They can spend any amount of money to sleep with a man. Some are passionate about occultism. They can buy blood any amount of money. Some are passionate about diamonds; you ask Diezani (Alison-Madueke).My paassion is automobiles and there is no crime in that and I am very proud of it. Once the automobiles are not products of crime and they are not got from any ill-gotten wealth,then a man should be proud about what he is passionate about. I love automobiles and I am waiting for the next collection. Q: You have ordered for more cars at this period of economic recession, when many Nigerians, even those from your constituency and senatorial district cannot feed and there is poverty everyhere? A : Yes,my cars cannot underwrite the recession problems of this country. Even if you sell my cars now, it will not make Nigeria to come out of recession.
