The senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, has
explained that he insulted Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during an executive
session at the Senate after she referred to him as a thug.
Melaye, however, said he was willing to apologise if he had wronged any individual in the matter.
“If there are instances that I am not a
super human being, if there are instances where as a human being I have
reacted negatively I am also ready to be apologetic about it. But in
this particular instance, I have never mentioned anybody’s name, I never
even used insolent languages.
Reacting to the statement purportedly
made by Remi Tinubu’s husband and leader of the All Progressives
Congress, Chief Bola Tinubu on his political career, Melaye said the APC
leader is no god and cannot determine his political career.
“I will continue to speak for those who
cannot speak for themselves, I will continue to be a voice to the
voiceless and in reaction I heard that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu said my
political career has come to an end.
“I want to say that Tinubu is no god. I
fear only the God almighty, I fear no soul I only respect souls. So far
my political journey to the House of Representatives and the Senate has
no political, financial or moral contribution of Senator Bola Ahmed
Tinubu.
“The God who has brought me this far is
mighty, strong and enough to take me further, what God has given me no
man can give and what God has given to me no man can take. I want to
assure you that this is the true story of what transpired.”
Punch Reportage.
