“Those Who Orchestrated Saraki’s Removal, Now Call Him Their Mentor” – Dino Melaye [Video]

The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district., Dino Melaye has sent a goodwill message to his dear friend, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who is the Senate President, as the 8th National Assembly tenure comes to an end.

As part of the activities on the floor of the house, several distinguished Senators took turns to talk about their experiences in four years since they’ve been part of the 8th assembly.

One of those who spoke during yesterday’s session was the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Sen. Dino Melaye.

Melaye in his submission lauded the leadership qualities of Dr. Bukola Saraki in his capacity as the Senate President for the 8th assembly.

He, however, slammed some people whom he suggested were playing eye service.

“I thank the Almighty who is the supreme controller of the universe. For being alive and and being here today.

“I addressed you as the irremovable Senate President. When canckerworms and caterpillars attacked you. When the state petition you and took you to the court and establish a case against you.

Mr. President, You are not just completing your term/ tenure, you will have a glorious time.

“To my surprise, many of those who orchestrated your downfall and removal have now called you their mentor, said you have done well , said you have lead us well.

“Mr. President, is your time to laugh. I give glory to God, only God give and take power.”

“The happiest day in my life was the day Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki emerged as the Senate President.”

“The saddest day of my life was when Senator Ovie Omo-Agege led thugs to steal the Senate mace, a symbol of unity,” Melaye said
