Oshiomhole replies Dino Melaye, seeks ‘Unreserved Public Apology’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has replied comments made against him by Senator Dino Malaye representing Kogi State in the Nigerian Senate.<\/p>\n

According to the \u2018Comrade Governor,\u2019 the Senator only displayed his hollowness by delving into a matter as private as his marriage to his heartthrob.<\/p>\n

Responding through a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Peter Okhiria, Oshiomhole said “Our attention has been drawn to the unprovoked verbal assault launched by one Senator Dino Melaye on the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, while making a contribution on the floor of the Senate on the need to patronize made-in-Nigeria goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement reads further that, \u201cAs a “nephew” of the Governor and members of the same party, we expected Senator Melaye to tender an unreserved public apology to the Comrade Governor, to no avail.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing, the statement said, \u201cIt is an open secret that Senator Melaye cannot maintain a decent matrimonial home hence he could descend to this pedestrian level of using the hallowed chambers to “cargorise” women as if they were pieces of items for purchase.<\/p>\n

Any responsible individual that is truly worth to be called a Senator, a position that convokes respect, decorum and decent public conduct, should know the limits of his verbal diarrhea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stating further on the freedom of speech which members of the National Assembly also enjoys, the statement pointed that should not allow anyone to make such derogatory statement. \u201cThe liberty of free speech guaranteed in the hallowed chambers does not impose lunacy on anyone to disparage other Nigerians, let alone pry into their matrimony in a very derisive manner.<\/p>

We had intended to ignore this uncomplimentary comment as one of the several empty displays of the Senator, but the fact that it tends to reduce women to pieces of tissue calls for this response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the person of Melaye, the statement reads further that, \u201cAs we probed into Dino Melaye’s humanity, we were reminded that he is a man known for his vainglorious rodomontade and the childish display of his ostentatious lifestyle complements his love for foreign items.<\/p>\n

Many of such euro-centric mentality he has persistently displayed on social media, to underscore his materialistic eccentricity, hence his dialectical opposition to made-in-Nigeria goods.<\/p>\n

But an attempt at making women wear the garb of goods to be picked off the shelves was to take the issue to a ridiculous and irresponsible level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reading further, the statement says, \u201cBy delving into the private affair and marriage of the Comrade Governor, Senator Melaye has exposed himself as a simpleton and a court jester whose words and tactlessness cannot be taken seriously by matured people,\u201d advising Melaye to therefore, \u201cmend his ways with his ex-wife and concubines before coming to the village square to display his crass ignorance and emptiness to the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n

If he has anything to offer, Dino Melaye should concentrate on making good laws for the people of Nigeria rather than descend to a ridiculous level, thus displaying to the whole world his unworthiness to sit in the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n
