Former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has stated that the government has no place in sponsoring religious activities, including marriages. During an appearance on the KAA Truths podcast, Melaye criticized governments at both the state and federal levels for allocating vast sums of public funds to religious events, instead of investing in critical infrastructure such as roads and hospitals.
African Democratic Congress chieftain Melaye argued that religion is a personal matter and should not be funded by the state. He questioned the purpose of churches and billionaires who can fund religious pilgrimages to Mecca and Jerusalem, and questioned why the government would spend billions of naira on such activities when roads and hospitals are in poor condition.
