Senator representing Kogi West
Senatorial District, Sen. Dino Melaye, on Wednesday, denied media reports that
he was the one instigating the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dino Melaye Dino Melaye Melaye, who
is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said
those spreading the falsehood were people who believe that a Nigeria that is
not led by them must not exist. In a statement personally issued by him in
Abuja, Melaye said the allegation “is the narrative of the attack dogs of
demagogues who have decided to turn Nigeria upside down for failing to choose
leaders for Senators.
“It is pertinent to note that the
incredulously machinated misinformation was orchestrated by forces bent on
destabilising the upper chambers of the Nigerian Parliament for selfish
reasons. “One of the mushroom and faceless online platforms used to promote the
ill-fated and calumnious write-up has been notorious for serving as the
propagandist machinery of political commercialists who are pushing for the
extension of their fiefdom to the National Assembly. “While I remain
unimpeachably committed to the leadership of the Senate, I believe the
respected arm of government charged with the onerous responsibility of law
making should be given the independence to conduct its business.
“It is untrue and malicious; the allegation is
the narrative of the attack dogs of demagogues who have decided to turn Nigeria
upside down for failing to choose leaders for Senators. “I am a responsible
Nigerian, role model and a champion of anti-corruption and equity which my
party (APC) stands for. I therefore urge the general public to discountenance
the libelous publication as I will continue to respect the history, culture and
excellence of my Kogi West people on the floor of the Senate. The true threats
to the current Republic are those who believe that a Nigeria that is not led by
them must not exist.”
