Dino Melaye, former Kogi West Senator, has berated his
successor in the Senate, Smart Adeyemi over his derogatory statement against
Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu.
Adeyemi had called Ikpeazu as a Champagne drinking governor.
The lawmaker, who made the remark while contributing to a
motion on the Safe School Initiative in Nigeria on the floor of the Senate, had
said Abia State was being governed by drunkards.
Adeyemi said while some governors were committed to the
welfare and protection of their people, Abia was ravaging in poverty.
He had said: “In some states where we have highly
intelligent people, highly educated people, very enterprising people, like
Abia, they are governed by drunkards. The governor of Abia is a champagne
drinking man.
“Abia people are impoverished more than ever before. Abia
people are unfortunate.”
Reacting, Adeyemi described Adeyemi as a drug addict.
In a tweet, Melaye wrote: “It is shocking that a diabolical
father of a known drug addict who even went to a rehabilitation centre will
call the decent Governor of Abia State names. I apologise unbehalf of this
blood thirsty senator.”
