Senator Dino Melaye, who represented Kogi West in the 8th Nigeria National Assembly, said he wrote "Renewed Hope" on a cheque when a supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu begged him for money.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stated this amidst the ongoing economic hardship in the country.

In a post shared via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @_dinomelaye, Melaye shared a clever response he gave to a Tinubu supporter who asked for financial assistance.

“Tinubu supporter begged me for money. I brought out my cheque and wrote on it... 'Renewed Hope.'”
