The lawmaker representing Lagos-Central senatorial district, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has written a petition against her Kogi-West counterpart, Senator Dino Melaye.
In the petition which was addressed to the acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and dated July 18, 2016, the senator, who is the wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said Melaye threatened her life on the floor of the Senate last week.
She said Melaye had a penchant for violence as he had engaged in fisticuffs with his colleagues when he was in the House of Representatives between 2007 and 2011.
The complainant alleged that a particular lawmaker had even died after in a brawl caused by Melaye.
She, therefore, urged the IG to protect her from harm.
The petition with reference number SOT/Vol.2/135, read in part, “I am Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos-Central senatorial district of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“During the proceedings of the Senate on Tuesday July 14, 2016, I had cause to contribute to a matter of national importance. Apparently dissatisfied with my contributions, Senator Dino Melaye threw caution to the wind, resorted to vulgar abuse of my person and wanted to assault me.
“It was the timely intervention of a number of my colleagues which prevented Senator Melaye from unleashing physical attack on me. However, as the leadership of the Senate did not call him to order (sic) in the circumstance, he proceeded to threaten my life without any provocation whatsoever.
“In view of Senator Melaye’s antecedent, particularly in the House of Representatives, where a brawl led by him had led to the untimely death of a member, I have decided not to ignore this threat to my life. Therefore, I am compelled to urge you to use your good office to provide me with adequate security.”

This idiot is taking things too far. Were you not the one who first raised abuses of Dino Melaye? you called him a dog. Didn't you? Your husband is Jagaban. isn't he? you and your husband run Lagos like your private business, run APC like your home and think you can run the senate house like your kitchen and probably run Dino like your houseboy. isn't it? Next time learn to respect a man............
ReplyDeleteAnother unchain mad dog !!! True man never fight women no matter what
ReplyDeleteYou are the real mad dog if not how can a woman who said is wise will call a human being a dog.
DeleteAnother Idoit will lick tinubus wife anus wen she insults him mugu. Melaye beat d living day light out of dat miscreant who tink nija belongs 2 dem u are a man.
ReplyDeleteYoruba people especially women are very respectful and humble no matter their status or wealth. Doubt whetber this woman is real Yoruba. Well, could any Saudi woman act in such manner in the Saudi Parliament or House of Rep?
ReplyDeleteDino is a full member of the house and as such has a right to reply if he is abused or treated badly by anyone. The other day it was snubing Sarakis's hand shake, Sitting on Ekweremadu's sit and today is calling a man a dog and tout and people are just talking gibberish? Could she have learnt this sort of character from tubunu himself? They say like husband like wife. Abi? Is this like the Biblical story of Herodias asking for the head of John? So, men be careful before jumping to fight fore a woman not even your wife!
Madam, face your primary objects of being in the Senate. This is your second term and nothing to show. Why do you and your husband want very thing in the world, from iya-oloja to party leader, to tribal leader, to even the Senate leader. We know that the problem is you and your husbands ambition that you become the 1st female deputy Senate president in Nigeria. It has failed and no remedy. Dino was the party speaker and great campaign mover at election campaigns where you danced around as he made the powerful speeches which he is still making on the Senate now. If it hurts you, that's it. Please conduct your self and you have had enough with your family from Lagos, oil and contracts. You people should look back some years ago and you can thank God for His mercies. Stop this noise making. Senate is only for a while and you will be out, ask those who had left. Generate projects and programmes for women development since you were given to at committee and generate rural development programmes particularly for women, not just senator for mouth.
