Kogi youths want Dino Melaye suspended

The Kogi Youths for Good Governance, has called for the suspension of Senator Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi) from the Senate, for attacking Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Its Coordinator, Mr. Leke Richard, made the call yesterday in Abuja, during a peaceful protest to the National Assembly.

This is coming barely 48 hours after some women protested against the Kogi senator.
Richard said the group’s demand was sequel to Melaye’s record of misconduct at the National Assembly.
He said: “Such misconduct from Dino has not only brought disgrace to his constituents, but to the National Assembly.
“Enough of this national and global embarrassment from this lawmaker, who does not know how to fight for the interest of his constituents but against his fellow lawmakers.
“We want him to be suspended first while we fast-track the process of his recall from his senatorial district.”
Richard added that the agitation against Melaye would continue until the Senate do the needful, by taking appropriate sanction against him.
Mr. Dennis Maji, from the Office of the Sergeant-At-Arms at the National Assembly, who received the group’s letter, hailed the peaceful manner the protesters conducted themselves.
He promised to handover the letter to the appropriate authority in the National Assembly.
Senator Tinubu, while meeting with a Lagos State delegation on Wednesday, said she had forgiven Melaye as a Christian after Senate President Bukola Saraki’s intervention, more than one week after she was harassed.
