Tribunal: Melaye Accuses Tinubu Of Backing Adeyemi At A’court by HzRF(m): 2:15am On Jul 06, 2015
The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, on Sunday alleged that a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had decided to offer support for Senator Smart Adeyemi, who is currently challenging his electoral victory at the Court of Appeal.

Melaye, an APC senator, told journalists in Abuja that Tinubu had contacted the immediate-past Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), to take over the legal battle on behalf of Adeyemi.

He also said that Adeyemi, on the request of Tinubu, had forwarded details of the suit to Adoke, asking him to look for a judge in the Court of Appeal that would offer assistance.

But Tinubu, in his reaction, had asked Melaye to look elsewhere for people to blackmail.

Tinubu, who spoke through his Media Adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare, said it was nothing but a “kitchen of malicious lies.”

Dare said, “This is another lie from their kitchen of malicious lies. They are all over the social and traditional media, spewing lies and planting stories. We are not about that. Nigerians are not as gullible as they think.

“He is aligned with people who want to kill the party, and we wish him luck, but they will not succeed because the party belongs to the Nigerian people.

“This blackmail, like other ones, will not work. It cannot stick. Adoke? Who is he? Tinubu cannot recall when last he saw him or even spoke with him. Dino should look elsewhere for people to blackmail.”

Melaye had claimed that he incurred the wrath of Tinubu after refusing to back down from supporting the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, during the recently concluded election of presiding officers of the 8th Senate.

But Melaye said he had no regret over his role, leading to the emergence of Saraki as the Senate President.

He said, “I have no regret supporting Senator Saraki and my electoral victory was ordained by God and not by man. Therefore, no mortal can reverse it. In God I trust, no matter how desperate they might be.

“I am privy to an electronic mail sent to Adoke by an Abuja-based senior editor who is close to Tinubu in which he forwarded the court papers filed by Smart Adeyemi at the tribunal to Adoke.

“In the said e-mail, Adoke was told to look for a trusted justice in the Court of Appeal who would be useful for Smart Adeyemi.”

It will be recalled that the Election Petition Tribunal in Lokoja had upheld the election of Melaye who was elected on the platform of the APC.

The tribunal had dismissed the petition filed by a former chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists and former chairman, Senate Committee on FCT, Adeyemi, because his lawyers filed their defence too late.

Delivering judgment in the suit, Chairman of the three-member tribunal, Justice Akon Ikpeme, described the petition by Adeyemi, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, as “incurably defective.”

And the cooky crumbles. This is how you know when you have been scammed. Now that GEJ is out, sharing the spoils has become their biggest challenge. They saw in PMB a man of impeccable character they could leverage on to unseat GEJ. Even Buhari is aghast to these leeches penchant for looting and he will spend the whole term trying to balance their needs. Afterall they all worked to install him there. Onye oru nwere ugwo.

He might be innocent of Melaye's accusation but I know the man Tinubu is definitely cooking up something. Hez not going to take the humiliation these "small boyz" gave him just like that. Mbanu.

Tinubu is already strategizing forward to 2019. If he plans on defeating the small boyz who want to be President by all means, 2019 is the battle date. He has no time for them at moment, he is busy planning ministerial appointments and bringing foreign investors to the country. grin. The ministerial appointments will be the anti-dote for small boyz.

Melaye and controversy sha. He knows Tinubu isn't happy with him for his role in the emergence of saraki and he's being careful knowing how dangerous Tinubu is. But one thing I know is he's going to be very useful in the senate, incase you need a radical person to push your agenda just call on Melaye. I hope all these power tussle doesn't affect the country negatively and to anybody who thinks Tinubu is too big to fall should understand that anybody can fall provided the right moves are taken. But in as much as I may not like the Melaye guy, I think he's better at the senate compared to Smart Adeyemi but Smart adeyemi will bring better dividends to his people.

Tinubu have fought the federal government as the only governor of AD for 4 years when he was governor of Lagos state, that means he fought the whole federal might, Tinubu is very capable if taking APC and the North easily to the cleaners as he doesn't have any political ambition and that is his strength. People tend to easily forgot that he worked with Jonathan and Jonathan won, he worked against Jonathan and Jonathan lost, Buhari worked for years even with some if his Northern/Muslim brothers and he kept losing but Tinubu worked with him and he won; you don't fight someone that stand by you genuinely when you have problem or when you are looking for a favor after he helped you resolve it! Jonathan is a testimony to that, he fought the south west because the North, south east and south south mouth talked him into believing he have them and as such he doesn't need the south west and Alas! He kept fighting the south west eg Obasanjo and Tinubu, this lead to him being the first incumbent President to loss an election in Nigeria. 4 years is along time so let sit, relax and see how politricks unfold.
