Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has described the senator representing Kogi west senatorial district and Chairman Senate Committee on FCT, Dino Melaye as a disgrace to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Tinubu also vowed to deal with Senator Dino Melaye if he dares beat his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Melaye had on Tuesday vowed to beat Senator Tinubu during a closed-door session of the Senate over the forgery case against Principal Officers of the Senate.
Tinubu had expressed disapproval at the tactic suggested by Melaye, who was of the opinion that commencing impeachment proceedings against President Muhammadu Buhari will make the Executive back down on the trial.
A shouting match had ensued. Tinubu was said to have warned the Senate to guard against being reduced to a kindergarten court where senators could just issue childish threats, and called on senators to close ranks and seek reconciliation among themselves. That was when Melaye flew into a rage.
“You can’t talk to me the way you talk to other people; you must respect yourself,’’ Melaye was said to have roared.
Reacting to the development, Asiwaju Tinubu vowed to deal with Melaye if he takes any untoward action against his wife.
Speaking through his spokesman, Sunday Dare, Tinubu said Melaye’s comments was a major low for him.
Dare, writing on his Twitter handle, said: “Aand if Dino thinks nothing will happen if he dare beats up another Senator, then he must be living in a fools paradise.
“Things will happen.
“Dino Malaye sunk to the lowest ever today.
“From this point, it is downhill for him.
“A disgrace to the Senate of the Republic.”
