Dino Melaye to Oshiomhole: You are suffering from intellectual stagnancy

The Senator representing Kogi West District, Dino Melaye, has taken the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to the cleaners.
To him, for Oshiomhole to have declared that the Senate Presidency belongs to APC and that Dr. Bukola Saraki should resign, he (Oshiomhole) is suffering from ‘intellectual stagnancy’ and ‘brain arthritis’.
Melaye, who spoke in Abuja on Sunday, educated the former Edo State governor by declaring: “For those who are saying that Saraki should resign (as Senate President), I am so disappointed in them, including the National Chairman of APC.
“Oshiomhole was very busy with labour and social issues that he did not take time to look at the Constitution and our extant laws to know that crowns are worn in the kingdoms, villages and communities, that there is no crown in the National Assembly.
“He has appropriated the seat of the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to a political party. That is intellectual stagnancy. He has exhibited what can only be as a result of brain arthritis.
“I cannot understand why the national chairman of a party will not know that the seat of the Senate president is of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has no party affiliation. Then, he appropriated the seat to APC, forgetting that even those who elected the Senate President were from the PDP.
“The PDP gave the Senate President 42 votes out of the 53 votes that he got on the day of election. So, the APC is the minority, even in the election of the President of the Senate.
“But the National Chairman of the APC, in his ‘bolekaja’ approach to life, spoke myopically which is an evidence of intellectual stagnancy. Anyway, you can’t give what you don’t have.”
