He stated this at a press briefing after plenary on Thursday, noting that he reacted to an action of Senator Remi Tinubu, the wife of the APC’s National leader, Bola Tinubu.
“At the Executive session, an issue generated controversy and while contributing, Senator Remi suddenly stood up and called me a dog and a thug, of course, I had to react,” he said.
He wondered why Ahmed Bola Tinubu, while speaking through his Media Aide was asking him to apologize on altercation that erupted between equals.
According to him, he was yet to confirm that such statement was actually coming from the APC National leader, insisting that if it was confirmed, he would react accordingly.
Melaye said, he was addressing the issue officially because of the fear that his character would be assassinated if he keeps quiet since he has been inundated with questions as a result of the wide publication on the fracas.
He maintained that he was emboldened to react each time he was being provoked, while reminding those that care to check records that he has been like that.
Melaye added that he was not a hypocrite when it comes to pursuing issues of national interest, noting that in the past administration, he fought doggedly for democracy which Nigerians are now enjoying today.
“You can recall that I am no coward. I have always been like this and I do not speak my mind through proxies and that was the reason I took to streets whenever the need arose, particular in defense of democracy,” he maintained.

Dino you are on your own ,you are not an honourable man but a tout
ReplyDeleteIs Remix Tinubu a Yoruba woman? Yorubas especially women are very respectuf and humble no matter their status. Or has power and wealth changed her?
ReplyDeleteMy dear Senator, do not mind the sycophants who kick against you for reacting like this. When Mrs Tinibu called you a dog, they did not hear it. when she called you a thug, they did not say anything. It is your reaction, that is what they heard. To every action, there is a reaction, where it is equal or not, i do not care. Why on earth would a woman call another womans husband a dog? Oluremi Tinibu, her husband Bola and their numerous sycophants should go and sit down. she was only threatened to be beaten up and everyone is fidgeting.Mtcheeeww
ReplyDeletePeople like you and Dino who talk like this are usually wife beaters. Don't there will soon be laws to put y'all away for a veeerry long time.
DeleteI do not blame you because you have not gotten to understand that Oluremi Tinibu has no respect. May i remind you that she was the one who went and sat on the seat meant for the Deputy senate president. Her type does not deserve my pity.
DeleteThis same oluremi whatever she called, I don't care. Is she not D one who went and sat on Ekwueromados chair? What happened thereafter? That woman is evil.
