A gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of APC in Ondo State, Hon Judge Dele Alade has called on the national Secretariat of APC in Abuja and the APC Kogi State to sanction Senator Dino Melaye for his reported gross misconduct in the senate.
Hon Alade also called on the good people of Kogi state who have been traumatized and impoverished by the likes of Melaye to recall the senator from the senate.
In a statement in Akure over the weekend, Judge Alade described the reported unprovoked outburst and insults the senator unloaded on the person of the wife of the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as uncalled for and an unbecoming thuggish behavior of this loquacious and shameless senator. He called on the party to immediately investigate the reported incident and punish the senator if infact the reported misconduct was true. Judge Alade stated that Senator Melaye is a product of corrupt system hence he is fighting hard, and supporting and colluding with the corrupt and disgraced Bukola Saraki to impede and sabotage the APC and President Buhari’s fight against corruption. He further said that it is a national embarrassment that we still have Bukola Saraki as the President of the Senate when he should be serving term in prison. “That Bukola Saraki is still the senate president is what is emboldening and encouraging Melaye to threaten, molest and abuse a distinguished and well respected woman in the senate”. Judge Alade asked the people of Kogi to demand accountability from the senator for his stewardship in the senate. “He has achieved nothing in the senate other than being a bodyguard to Bukola Saraki to travel to and from the court where the latter is facing corruption and felony charges”. Judge Alade said that in a decent and civilized society, the likes of Melaye and Bukola Saraki would not come close to where public policies are being discussed. Judge Alade laments the poverty level and inhuman environment the vast majority of Nigerians live including the Kogi people, and rather than for Melaye to fight to improve the lot of his people he is busy amassing exotic cars and motorcycles in a state and a country with worst roads in the world.
He however called on the good members of the senate to purge the senate of the corrupt and criminals amongst them in order to rebuild the already battered national and international image of the senate
