The lawmaker representing Kogi West at the National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye, does not look like he is giving up his public criticism of his state Governor, Yahaya Bello, any time soon.

As long as he remains the number one citizen of the Confluence State, Yahaya Bello, seems to have no hiding place but to continue to endure the public bashing from his perceived political archrival, Melaye.

When he is not releasing a diss track to mock the governor, Melaye would be on social media shading Bello over his alleged failure as Governor, reminding him that his days at the Lugard House in Lokoja are numbered.

Melaye took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to call out the governor over the way he greeted the Emir of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Abdulrahman Ibrahim, which he described as disrespectful.

The Senator lambasted the Governor for hugging the 90-year-old monarch who is the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland and traditional ruler of the Ebira people where Bello hails from.

He posted the photo of Bello and the monarch as they hugged each other and captioned:

“Very disrespectful and rude Governor Yahaya Bello hugging his paramount traditional ruler Alh Ado Ibrahim who is over 90years.”

Melaye wondered why the Governor could not bend to greet the monarch the way other governors greet their Emirs, saying if the Governor would not respect the office the monarch occupies, he should respect his age.

“Can Gov Tambuwal hug the Sultan? Or will Elrufai hug the Emir of Zaria? If this disobedient child will not respect the seat of Ohinoyi, he should respect the age of HRM. Home training is not a gift,” Melaye added.

A few hours later, Melaye took to IG again to compare Bello’s style of greeting an Emir to Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

Melaye posted the photo of El-Rufai who was seen bending as he greets the Emir of Zazzau in Zaria and captioned:

“‘See Elrufai and Emir of Zazzau”

Very disrespectful and rude Governor Yahaya Bello hugging his paramount traditional ruler Alh Ado Ibrahim who is over 90years. Can Gov Tabuwal hug the Sultan? Or will Elrufai hug the Emir of Zaria? If this disobedient child will not respect the seat of Ohinoyi, he should respect the age of HRM. Home training is not a gift.
