More condemnations have continued to come the way of Senator Dino Melaye over his comment on Governor Adams Oshiomhole’s marriage to a foreigner, as a group, which identified itself as Edo Professionals, has described the lawmaker as “uncivilized and uncultured.”
Speaking at a press conference in Benin, the Edo State capital, they stressed that the controversial remark by Melaye was an insult on the people of Edo State, insisting that the Kogi-born lawmaker should apologize to them.
A former Deputy Governor of the State, Rev Peter Obadan, who spoke on behalf of Edo Professionals, described Melaye’s discuss of the Edo state Governor’s marriage as ”provocative, repugnant and malicious.”
According to him, “I had prepared a letter for the Senate President. Dino’s discuss of Edo Governor is provocative, repugnant and malicious. It’s a slap on the Edo people. If Dino admires our first lady he should divorce his if he has one and ask for one outside.
“He forgets the world is a global village. He is so uncivilised and uncultured that I am shocked to find such in a decent assembly of noble men and women. Is there an APC Senator from Edo in the assembly? Let him speak.”
Speaking in the same vein, the chairman of Akugbe Ventures, a tax consultant firm to the Edo State Government, Comrade Tony Kabaka Adun said the Senator, who he described as mentally deranged, should be subjected to psychiatric test for attacking the Edo State Governor and the People of the state.
Kabaka maintained that the issues of patronizing made- in Nigeria products which precipitated the spurious attack on Governor Oshiomhole was uncalled for, especially with regard to Oshiomhole’s exemplary leadership in restoring sanity in the country.
He described Melaye as not only a busybody who has lost focus in life, but a sycophant who wants to use the attack on Oshiomhole to cover up his misdeeds in the National Assembly.
Wondering when the Governor’s marriage became a subject of deliberation in the senate, to the extent that a serving senator had degenerated to discussing personal issues, instead of national issues, Kabaka expressed displeasure at the attitude of the Senator who was supposedly voted into power to represent his people.
He said that Melaye had lost direction and advised his people to recall him from the National Assembly in order not to promote the poverty level of his people for his personal aggrandizement, stressing that he is incompetent, naïve and of no value as lawmaker.
