dams Oshiomhole, governor
of Edo state, has criticised
Dino Melaye for being so
“hollow” as to delve into his
matrimonial life despite failing
to keep one of his own.
While making his contribution
on Wednesday to the debate on
a motion regarding the need
for Nigerians to patronise
made-in-Nigeria goods, Melaye
had said: “I want to celebrate
the made-in-Nigeria senator for
bringing this motion. In
considering the made-in-
Nigeria goods, we must look at
enabling factors that will
necessitate the made in Nigeria
goods.
“It’s beyond having one made-
in-Nigeria attire and you have
over 70 Tom Fords and Louis
Vuitton in your wardrobe. We
must reduce the allocation for
made-in-Nigeria goods and
services to the basics. “What are
those factors militating against
the production of these goods?
We must tackle them. We must
also begin to look at our
legislation then we will begin to
talk about made-in-Nigeria
goods.
will also move in order to
encourage the made-in-Nigeria
products in Nigeria, begin to
talk about made-in-Nigeria
women. Apologies to my uncle,
the governor of Edo state, we
must, as a people, stop paying
dowry in dollars and pounds. It
is time for my colleagues here
to become born again.”
Displeased with the comments,
Oshimohole replied on Friday,
saying Melaye “only displayed
his hollowness” by delving into
a matter as private as his
marriage to his heartthrob.
“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,”
Oshiomhole said in a statement
by Peter Okhiria, his chief press
secretary.
“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 diarrhoea.
“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 eurocentric
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.”http://saharareporters.com/2016/03/04/gov-oshiomhole-slams-dino-melaye-says-he-lunatic-without-matrimonial-life
