Dino Melaye Replies Remi Tinubu: I’m Not One Of Those Senators That Beg Bola Tinubu, Count Me Out
July 15, 2016 – Dino Melaye To Remi Tinubu: I’m Not One Of Those Senators That Beg Bola Tinubu, Count Me Out
Dino Melaye has issued a statement on his threat on female Senator Remi Tinubu.
This is what the Kogi Senator said yesterday:
“On Tuesday, July 12, we had an executive session to discuss basically the issue of forgery case in court and I stood up to address the house. I have never been a coward and I will not start an apprenticeship programme now, on how to become a coward. Whatever I say anywhere, I can boldly repeat everywhere. When I stood up and I made my submissions that day, all I did was to pacify my colleagues and asked that the case in court be withdrawn because, already, there was a resolution that the rules of the senate were not forged.
“I said since there was a Senate resolution, that the rules were not forged, all those who had gone to court should go and withdraw their names from court and that at the end of the day those who refused to withdraw their names from court, we should penalise them by suspending them. I said that.
“I did not use any insolent, abusive, degrading or mannerless language. So, there was no reaction from any of our colleagues as regards my presentation. After I spoke, so many other senators spoke and I did not mention the name of any senator when I made my presentation
Unfortunately, Senator Tinubu got up and was recognised to speak.
“She, specifically, mentioned my name and said she was being harrassed in the chamber by Senator Melaye. I kept quiet at that point. She went ahead to ask why would I be threatening senators.
“At that point, I was still very calm. She got up again and said, ‘this thug must be tamed.’ At that point, I got up and told her that she was very stupid. The next statement from her was ‘you are a dog.’ When she called me ‘a dog,’ I stood up and reacted.
“I told her that we were not in Bourdillon and that she should look at my face, that I am not one of those senators who normally come to prostrate to them at Bourdillon…”
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-West has told Melaye to apologise to Senator Tinubu, the entire Tinubu family, womanhood and the APC in the South-West publicly.

Now I see where its really coming from. Ever since, I knew Maleye couldn‘t just have spew such derogatory remarks if something had not caused it.
Even if Maleye is not a role model in the senate Chamber, why calling a Man such derogatory name such as “A Thug, and as if that was not enough, you went ahead to calling him a “Dog“ himself a law maker like you for crying out loud.
And when he reacted, the World is asking him to tender an apology not only to you (Remi) but to the entire body of the party and her entire family. Including the whole NG‘s Crew, readers and commentators with the least person walking on the streets down to the smallest living creatures.
Ha! Something is fishy o…

If you believe this then you will believe anything! If truly this was all that transpired where then did the palm wine talk of beating, raping and impregnating her come from? Dino knows that he has stepped out of bounds that was why he is quickly making a retreat. Am not saying it’s not possible for mrs. Tinubu to have said something nasty to him as well but I have a very strong conviction that Dino indeed said those shameful and demeaning words. He should be taught a lesson!!!!! I trust Almed Tinubu not to forgive the slap to his face.

Whether this is true or not, Women: Whenever we clamour for respect from men, we should also respect them and respect ourselves. Respect begets respect.
The other day a supposed first lady allegedly called a sitting governor a dog.
Now a sitting senator is alleged to have done same to another sitting senator.
When are we going to be cultured?
When’s all this gonna end?
Instead of making laws for good governance and calling the government to accountability, they collect sitting allowances for threatening and calling one another dogs and the economy is further declining.
God is watching you all and He won’t be patient and gracious forever.
Thieviticians!
Thievators!!!

So this is where it all started! For a woman to call a man–a man with a wife like herself–a dog implies that the woman does not respect her own husband. And since called a dog, why is she, or any other person for that matter, scandalized that he consequently ranted about raping her? Is that not in accordance with dogs’ nature? I think that Bench was correct when he said that Tinubu’s wife should be the one to apologise to Dino instead.

Nonentity are you not a dog? why would you compel senators who do not withdraw their names from court to expulsion? lunatic you’re always at the fore front of fracas in the entire National Assembly. I’ve never heard you mediate in any issue,instead you’ll take side and fuel everything until it would degenerate.Ingrate maybe you’ve forgotten so quickly how your former party the (PDP) and your constitiency threw you away like gabbage after you displayed your show of shame at the lower chamber, you lost the next election after that incident before you manoeuvred your way to the APC and they accepted that you should represent their party. It is you that would suggest that your fellow senators that refuses to withdraw their names from the coourt case on forgery be suspended when it is glaring that you’ve already taken side with the people involved and you also know that some Senators would oppose to your stupid suggestion.So tell us, are you not a dog as you were called? were.

The question that is begging for an answer is what did the other senators present say about the wrangling. If it is true that the madam senator was the first to trade an insult then why all these noises. Being female and a wife to a politician did not confer on her the right to abuse a fellow senator. I started laughing at Nigerians when they leave the issue at stake in Lagos airport and start chasing an aircraft landing in Abuja airport. This is the main reason we are not moving forward. Let’s develope the habit of telling our leaders the truth no matter how. It will save us from dictatorship at the long run. Leaders are meant to lead not to be worship as we are trying to show by our attitude.

Ingrate where were Senators Bukola Saraki and Ekweremadu when your party the PDP and your constituency/senatorial district threw you away like trash? remember, you lost an election immediately after you displayed your show of shame at the lower chamber.Do people like the senators you want to die for now ever wanted you in the PDP talkless of wanting you to win an election?Oloriburuku, it is the same finger that rescued you and gave you food that you’re hunting.Senator Bukola Saraki is a man loved by many. Or is it because of the juicy committee on information you chair that is making you lose your head? why must you suggest that other senators should be compelled to remove their names from the court case, and if they act in the contrary, they’ll face suspension?

Oh I see madam was the first to call Dino a dog, and Melaye didn’t hesitate to behave like one. Wahala ti won niyen, because I no they follow them share the national cake. Awon werey de de!

I don’t buy this cock and bull story, the story does not add up, someone cannot just stand up and decide to start callg u names without any provocation, ok let’s assume she did, why don’t u call her a dog back or any other abusive words u can think of. I mean Dino u went too far by sayg u will rape her and nothing will happen, that’s an insult to womanhood.
And moreover when u are angry as a man u need to take a step back before reactg so as for u not to overreact just like u did. U were fighting with a woman for christ sake and exchanging words with her when u are not a woman. So if its ur wife, what u would av done.
Fine u might av been provoked but u went too far, just accept ur mistake, lower ur pride and do d right thing. it will only make u a bigger person. And u were supposed to be a public figure someone that should sight examples not d other way round.

I don’t believe dis cock and bull story, its not adding up, u were fighting with a woman and d next thing u can say is that u will rape her and nothing will happen. Why don’t u say those abusive words back to her, u went too far and its an insult to womanhood.
Fine she might av provoked u but as a man there are better ways of handling such matters, so if ur wife annoys u what will be her purnishment.
For christ sake u were supposed to be a public figure that should be sightg good example not the other way round.
Dino accept u went too far, do the right thing and be the bigger person.

I strongly believe that something is still missing from his own side of the story. How can a fellow Senator would just tagged her colleague a “Thug”….??? As long as I don’t give a damn of their dirty & disgraceful utterances as a Representatives; this is surely an incomplete story. Maybe one would by chance get the video clips on YouTube anyway”””””””

Those two may be the founding fathers of APC but how would they have won without the support of others. And if it was true that yor Mrs jagaban or wot do you call her had derogatorily called somebody a dog/thug, am not sure that all her surrogates had voted for her for such a thing. Where is then her modesty as a mother, lawmaker, a leader and a wife of a leader? Come to think of it,the man wanted to show her wot thugs do to their victims. Tinubu is not God anyway and that is a truism. Only God can determine wen one is finished and wen one would finish as he did to Abacha, OBJ and Diya, enough of arrogating unnecessary powers to mere mortals. APC would not have faced with all these problems if Buhari had not been gallivanting up and down to countries he was not invited if immediately after the general election, the leaders saw to who holds what in the nation assembly, let them get on with it.

I will agree with Dino’s statement on the basis of facts check on July 12 incident, using (Senate) in house transcripts. If Senate transcripts support his statements then we need to blame the media for false publication; if not, Dino is trying to defend himself afterwards.

Dino Melaye is a disgrace to the senate, Just because Saraki sponsored him,Dino was same person that fought in the house where his clothe got toned to be frank his a tout for saying he will rape another mans wife,no respect for womanhood. By the Grace of God he and his Oga (Saraki) will be disgrace out of senate, truly Dino his a Dog (BINGO) with the wat he follows Saraki around

Haba! Nigerian people will fall for anything just because they dislike the other person based on their own personal sentiments. How can any smart and reasobanable individuals believe lies coming from the mouth of a man whose action towards women in skirts is not different from that of a dog? This guy shouldn’t have be elected to any public office if we practice democracy the way it should be practice in adance nat ions of the world. Why? Animal in human body like Dino Melaye with public record of assaulting his former two wives by beating them mercilessly should not represents human beings in any public office. Dino is nothing but a wayward dog, arrogant, dubious, and have no respect for any woman. How I wish the Senate can release the video footage of the drama at the Senate floor between Dino and Mrs Oluremi Tinubu. Why is it that Dino is always fueling troubles, chaos, and animosity among his colleagues anywhere he is found. Some people here hate Bola Tinubu so much for alligning himself with PMB to crush out the most corrupt admistration in Nigerian history, however, they have quickly forgotten that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, OBJ, and the Southwest region supported Badluck Jonathan during his reelection campaign in 2011. This issue here is that Dino has no respect for any woman, his is a dog because of his chronic womanizing behavior, and a frustrated fraudster that will take side with corruption, looting, embezzlement, and bad governance at anytime but never for once side with the Nigerian masses, Senator Dino Melaye is a national disgrace that shouldn’t be elected a senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Shikenah!

Loving Omokehinde's comments
July 15, 2016 at 10:43 PM
I totally concur with you Omokehinde your constructive response was on point again once more. Now lets assume Mrs Tinubu call him Dog I don’t think thts enough reason 4 Dino to use those terms i.e RAPE AND THREATING TO BEAT SOMEONE ELSE’S WIVE…The least I expect him to say if he can he csnt handle the case differently is to say those words back to her Mrs Tinubu, am sure ppl wouldn’t be asking 4 his head now. My conclusion is tht he sud truly render an apology probably both sud do so
