Dina Melaye & Oluremi TinubuSenator Dino Melaye of All Progressives Congress (APC), Kogi West blasted Senator Oluremi Tinubu recently. The Chairman, Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, disclosed that he is not bothered about the letter Sen. Remi Tinubu wrote to the Inspector General of Police seeking protection against further attacks from him: “Great minds don’t dwell on issues, they act and move on. I have moved on.”

In a letter dated July 18th, 2016 to the Inspector General of Police, Senator Remi Tinubu’s letter titled: ‘Request for Police Protection’ read… “I am Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing the Lagos Central Senatorial District of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. During the proceedings of the Senate on Tuesday, July, 14, 2016, I had cause to contribute to a matter of national importance. Apparently dissatisfied with my contributions, Senator Dino Melaye threw caution to the winds, resorted to vulgar abuse of my person and wanted to assault me. It was the timely intervention of a number of colleagues which prevented Senator Melaye from unleashing physical attack on me. However, as the leadership of the Senate did not call him to order in the circumstance, he proceeded to threaten my life without any provocation whatsoever.”
