Governor Adams Oshiomhole says Senator Dino Melaye only displayed his hollowness by delving into a matter as private as his marriage to his heartthrob.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole says Senator Dino Melaye only displayed his hollowness by delving into a matter as private as his marriage to his heartthrob.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr
Peter Okhiria, the Governor 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.
As 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.
It 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. 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. The 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. 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.
As 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. 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. 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.
By 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.
We advise that Melaye should mend 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.
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.
