‘I Will Beat You up…Impregnate You and Nothing Will Happen’ – How Dino Melaye Silenced Remi Tinubu
Yesterday, the
senate was thrown into chaos following an altercation between Senators
Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi) and Remi Tinubu (APC-Lagos) which saw both
lawmakers calling each other names and charging at each other.
The melee ensued
when Senator Melaye, in a closed-door meeting, chided senators who had offered
to serve as prosecution witnesses in the ongoing forgery case against Senate
President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
“You should
go and tell those who sent you that nobody, I said nobody, no matter who he is,
can ever control this Senate,” Melaye was said to have warned
menacingly.
According to Premium
Times, Mrs. Tinubu then rose and retorted:
“I’m just wondering why whenever Senator Dino speaks in this chamber, he is always threatening people and behaving childishly and at times like a thug.
“I think he needs to know that every senator here represents their constituencies. And that there is no need to threaten anyone.
“We are seeking and working towards reconciliation, yet you are busy issuing threats.”
At this point,
Mr. Melaye lost his cool and charged towards Mrs. Tinubu, saying, “Look
this is not Bourdillon (referring to the famous Lagos residence of Mrs Tinubu’s
politician husband (Bola Tinubu)). I will beat you up, ….. impregnate you and
nothing will happen.”
Witnesses claim
other senators – particularly those from the South-West geopolitical zone – had
to intervene and save Mrs. Tinubu from physical attack.
“We had to
move in to save the situation because he had already overwhelmed her with his
voice,” one of the senators, who calmed Mrs. Tinubu down, said.
Meanwhile, Mr.
Melaye on Wednesday morning debunked reports that he was planning to initiate
impeachment proceeding against President Buhari, although he remained silent on
reports that he threatened Senator Tinubu or used the “F” word on her.
