Senator Dino Melaye has revealed why he changed his seating position in the Senate shortly after his resumption.
Melaye has been in hospital for sometime after he was arrested by the Nigerian police on allegations of gun-running.
In a statement on Instagram, Melaye wrote that he changed his seating position because of lions, snakes and tigers on the seat.
I see Lion, Tiger and snakes on this sit. Change my sit, mbok.
Meanwhile, the Presidency has lambasted the embattled Kogi West Senator, for rebuking President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Ms. Lauretta Onochie said Melaye needs mental evaluation.
The senator had told Buhari to apologize to the National Assembly over his recent comment that some lawmakers have spent a long time without doing anything.
Speaking in Abuja last week, Buhari had wondered what members of the National Assembly have been doing, even when some of them have spent over a decade as lawmakers.
Reacting, the embattled lawmaker described Buhari’s comment as “unpresidential” and “unconstitutional.”
However, Onochie said soon, Melaye will come to terms with the fact that the National Assembly “doesn’t belong to him.”
In a tweet, Onochie wrote: “It’s an absurdity that Melaye, who is standing trial for alleged criminal offences, who in a suicide bid, jumped out of a moving vehicle and whose obsessive compulsion disorder makes him think he owns the NASS, should be allowed to return to d Senate without proper mental evaluation.
“One day, Dino Melaye will come to terms that the NASS doesn’t belong to him. In his delusional state and on bail, he’s shamefully back to his clowning.
“I would hope that he confines his rascality to unsuccessfully suppressing opposing views in the Senate. Let the President be.”
