Dino Melaye, the All Progressives Congress senator representing Kogi West, took another swipe at Senator Remi Tinubu on Thursday, saying the latter has already reached menopause.
The petulant Melaye reportedly threatened to beat Mrs Tinubu during a closed door session of the Senate on Tuesday with some media platform quoting him as saying he would “beat, rape and impregnate” the wife of the former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Melaye denied threatening to beat and impregnate his APC colleague from Lagos Central
“It is malicious and a lie that I said I would impregnate Mrs Tinubu,” Melaye said.
But he sank further into a quicksand of shame when he declared, “Biologically, it is even impossible to impregnate Mrs Tinubu because she has arrived (sic) menopause. How can you say you want to beat somebody and at the same time impregnate the person?”
Melaye argued that he only told senators who went to court over allegations that Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu forged Senate Rules to withdraw the case of face suspension.
“Unfortunately, Senator Oluremi Tinubu got up and was recognised to speak and immediately she started speaking, she specifically mentioned my name,” he said.
“For reasons only known to Senator Remi Tinubu, she got up and the first thing she said was that she was being harassed in this chamber by Senator Melaye at this point.
“She went ahead to say that why would he come here and be threatening senators and there was a large chorus from senators. At that point I was still calm. She got up again and said that this thug must be tamed. At that point, I got up and told her that she was very stupid.
“The next statement from her was ‘You are a dog’. She called me a dog, and when she called me a dog I stood up and reacted and I told her that this was not Bourdillon and she should look at my face, I am not one of those senators who normally come to prostrate to them in Bourdillon and I am from Kogi —and not from Lagos.
“Somehow she got falsehood sold to Sahara Reporters; nobody among those of us who spoke there talked about impeachment. The issue of the presidency was not the subject matter. But because of deliberate wickedness and satanic manifestation, they brought in the issue of presidency to garnish their aim and purpose.”
