The Minister for information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has subtly hit out at Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Mohammed was speaking at the 2018 Ijakadi festival in Offa on Saturday where he said that the voting public should be wise in their votes.
While Mohammed didn’t mention Saraki’s name, it was obvious to whom he was referring.
He shaded the Senate President over his alleged involvement in the infamous Offa Robbery.

“In recent days, there have been attempts by some political desperadoes to trivialise the calamity that befell this community when those armed robbers attacked banks and the police station, among others,” he said.
“These desperadoes were quoted as saying that when they visited this town to commiserate with the people after the attack, they donated 10 million naira even when what was stolen from the banks vault was 7 million naira.
“Now, let us ask them; how many of those who were killed in that attack have they also been able to bring back? How can any sane person equate human life with money?
“No amount of money is worth any human life. And no one should play politics with human life. All people of conscience must condemn this glib comment by a desperate political warlord.”
