A Second Republic Senator, Ayo Fasanmi, has called for the suspension of the senator representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye from the National Assembly over his outburst against the wife of the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Melaye on Tuesday had threatened to assault Mrs Tinubu, who is representing Lagos Central in the senate during a closed door session.
Melaye, however, claimed he was only responding to an insult from Mrs. Tinubu who allegedly called him a dog and a thug when the impeachment move against President Muhammadu Buhari was been considered.
But, the former senator while condemning Melaye’s action said the lawmaker has destroyed the image of the hallowed chambers.
Fasanmi who stated this in a solidarity message during an emergency meeting of Lagos Central District leaders and stakeholders held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos Mainland, advised Nigerians to examine the quality of lawmakers they elect to represent them at the National Assembly and further called on the National leadership of the APC to sanction Melay.
“I am very sad about what is going on in the Senate. All former senators and members of the House of Representatives should be sad. Senator Dino Melaye is rude to a woman of substance and a diligent senator who has brought pride to the party, her constituency and the womenfolk. He should be suspended from the Senate with immediate effect,” Fasanmi said.
