Tinubu May Soon Borrow from Opay, Moniepoint – Dino Melaye
Nigerian politician and outspoken critic, Dino Melaye, has once again stirred conversation with his bold remarks on the nation’s economic direction under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a trending statement, the former senator claimed that if the current borrowing trend continues, the federal government might soon resort to seeking loans from fintech platforms like Opay and Moniepoint.
Melaye, known for his dramatic and satirical style, said the rising debt profile is worrisome and paints a gloomy picture of Nigeria’s economy. According to him, the government’s reliance on external borrowing without clear strategies for repayment is unsustainable and could push the nation into a deeper financial crisis.
His comments have since sparked reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing with his concerns, while others dismissed it as another of his comic political jabs. Still, the remark highlights growing public unease over the administration’s economic policies and borrowing patterns.
With Nigeria’s debt issues making headlines globally, Melaye’s warning—though laced with humor—has ignited fresh debate on how the Tinubu government plans to stabilize the economy without overburdening future generations.
