Senator Dino Melaye has been
described as a political house boy by the newly-elected Senator for Kogi West,
Smart Adeyemi.
He said that Melaye could not
manage well his earlier election into the Senate but decided to burgle it with
unnecessary exuberances.
Addressing newsmen on Sunday
after his victory at the poll, Adeyemi said, “when a servant steals the garment
of his master, the garment will be too big for the servant that the joy of
having his master’s garment will cause the servant to misbehave to people- he
ordinarily could have respected.”
Adeyemi said Melaye’s over-size
“garment made him to misbehave while in the Senate,” saying “legislation is not
synonymous with rascality and recklessness.”
Speaking further, the two-time
Senator apologized on behalf of the people of his constituency to all those the
outgoing Senator Dino Melaye had offended “through his unguided utterances and
actions” and said the trait was “alien to the culture and tradition of his
people.”
He specifically begged President
Muhammad Buhari, the APC national Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, the APC leader,
Ahmed Tinubu, the governor of the state, Yahaya Bello and a host of others that
Melaye had at one time or the other had altercation with to forgive the
defeated senator.
Adeyemi pledged “to represent the
people with dignity and decorum” at the Red Chamber, and also promise to do more
for the people of his constituency in his third term at the Senate.
He thanked the electorate, the
APC, traditional rulers, Governor Bello and all those who contributed to his
success at the poll and stressed he would not disappoint them.
