In a recent report by Daily Post, the Senator representing
Kogi West Senatorial District claimed that after the Executive session on
alleged plot to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, went awry, Senator Tinubu
took on the floor and called him a dog and a thug in her contribution.
“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. How could I have said I will beat &
impregnate her at the same time,” he said.
Speaking further, Melaye said, “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.”
The Senator further denied using insolent, abusive,
degrading & unmannerless language against any Senator.
He reportedly stated this at a press briefing after plenary
on Thursday, July 14, 2016, to clear the air on his alleged altercation with
the wife of the APC’s National leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Melaye's account is contrary to earlier reports that after
she was recognized to speak, Senator Tinubu had simply said the Senate should
not be reduced to a kindergarten where Senators could just issue childish
threats, and called on Senators to close ranks and seek reconciliation amongst
its members.
