According to a report by Sahara Reporters,
Senator Dino Melaye today threatened to beat up the wife of the
National leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, Senator Remi Tinubu. Below is how
they reported it…
“Shortly after that, Senator Dino Melaye (APC Kogi West) said in his
remarks that the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami,
must be brought before the Senate to be thoroughly grilled and
humiliated for charging the Senate leadership with forgery in court.Mr. Melaye called on the Senators in attendance to fight the presidency
to a standstill. In his rant, he issued a wide variety of threats.
Recognized to speak, Senator Remi Tinubu (APC) Lagos Central 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.That was when Melaye flew into rage, calling her names.
“I will beat you up on this floor and nothing will happen,โ he threatened.
The statement caused a commotion on the floor as Senators in her support
gathered to protect her. Senate Presient Saraki nodded as Melaye called
mrs. Tinubu unprintable names according to Senators who intervened to
save her from the rampaging Melaye.Leading the offensive in support of Melaye were Senators Danjuma Goje,
Jibrin Barau, Isa Misau and Peter Nwaoboshi.A source told SaharaReporters there had been a series of meetings at the
home of Senator Aliyu Wamakko (APC, Sokoto) to plot a total onslaught
on President Buhari in the coming days.
In addition, the Senators held to be behind the current forgery trial
were threatened by the like-minded Senators, with Melaye threatening to
kill anyone who shows up in court to testify against Saraki and
Ekweremadu.
The rancor between the Senate and the Presidency is expected to escalate
leading to a summons to the new Inspector General of Police who will be
forced to declare AGF Malami wanted if he refuses to show up at the
Senate from there it was gathered that Senators opposed to Buhari would
start impeachment proceedings against him.
Senators who spoke to SaharaReporters said the Senators supporting
Saraki are united in crime and corruption because theyโve never had it
so good, with over N260 billion padded into the budget in constituency
projects, and sundry line items smuggled into the 2016 budget for their
individual benefit.
There is, however, a seeming crack in Sarakiโs camp as some members have
already pulled out or reduced their open support for him due to his
many scandals. Senator Ali Ndume (APC) Borno South, for instance, has
fallen out with the Senate President because he was openly accused of
being too close to Buhari and nursing the ambition of becoming the
Senate President. Ndume was absent from todayโs gathering.
