The controversy raging in the Nigerian Senate between Senator Dino Melaye and Senator Oluremi Tinubu has generated several comments nationwide in the past few days.<\/p>\n

Melaye representing Kogi West Senatorial district at the National\u00a0Assembly, has come to the open to deny some of the utterances attributed to him. According to him, it is impossible for him to impregnate wife of the former governor of Lagos State and APC chieftain, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu representing Lagos Central Senatorial District unlike what utterance has been making the rounds after the both Senators had confrontation at the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Melaye said \u201che cannot impregnate Senator Oluremi Tinubu, because she has already \u201carrived\u201d menopause. Melaye however refuted reports that he threatened, during a closed door session of the senate on Tuesday, to beat up Tinubu and impregnate her.<\/p>\n

According to a monitored report on The Cable (www.thecable.ng<\/a>\u00a0), Melaye said he did not use any insolent, abusive, or degrading language when the disagreement ensued. \u201cIt is malicious and a lie that I said I would impregnate Mrs. Tinubu\u201d Melaye said.<\/p>\n

The Cable reported further, quoting Melaye that, \u201cBiologically, it is even impossible to impregnate Mrs. Tinubu because she has arrived menopause. How can you say you want to beat somebody and at the same time impregnate the person.\u201d<\/p>

The Senator from Kogi West explained that he only told the Senate that since it had passed a resolution saying
\nthat its rules were not forged, Senators who went to court should withdraw the case of face suspension.<\/p>\n

The Cable reported further that, \u201cUnfortunately, Senator Oluremi Tinubu got up and was recognised to speak and immediately she started speaking, she specifically mentioned my name, \u201che said. \u201cFor reasons only known to Senator Remi Tinubu, she got up and the first thing she said was that she was being harassed in this chamber by Senator Melaye at this point. \u201cShe went ahead to say that why would he come here and be threatening Senators and there was a large chorus from Senators. At that point I was still calm. She got up again and said that this thug must be tamed. At that point, I got up and told her that she was very stupid. \u201cThe next statement from her was \u2018You are a dog\u2019. She called me a dog, and when she called me a dog I stood up and reacted and I told her that this was not Bourdillon and she should look at my face, I am not one of those Senators who normally come to prostrate to them in Bourdillon and I am from Kogi \u2014and not from Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melaye also said there was no talk about the reported impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari. \u201cSomehow she got falsehood sold to SaharaReporters; nobody among those of us who spoke there talked about impeachment. The issue of the presidency was not the subject matter. But because of deliberate wickedness and satanic manifestation, they brought in the issue of presidency to garnish their aim and purpose,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
