PDP: Dino Melaye's Support For Saraki Caused His Arrest by Emmalez(m): 9:42am On Apr 25, 2018
PDP has reacted to the faceoff embattled senator Dino Melaye is having with the Nigeria Police Force.



In a statement released on their social media platforms, the opposition party said Dino is being harrassed by the Federal government because of his firm support for senate president Bukola Saraki, who was never the government's choice for the number three seat of power. Read the statement below

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) decries the relentless assault by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Federal Executive against the institution of the National Assembly, particularly, the Senate.

Nigerians have noted how the leadership of the Senate and elected senators of the Federal Republic are being harassed, arrested, detained and even arraigned on trumped-up charges for holding opinion divergent to that of the executive arm.

Since the emergence of the current leadership of the Senate outside the preference of the APC and the executive arm, the Senate has been under attack while senators who show support for the leadership are being hounded and harassed by agents of the executive.

The world has been watching with horror since it started with the arraignment of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and other senators on trumped-up charges as well as attempts to rope in the Deputy Senate President on charges related to treason.

Today, we are witnessing the harassment and arrest of Senator Dino Melaye, who is known for his support for the Senate leadership and his criticisms of the excesses of the executive arm.

Currently, Senators Aliyu Wamakko, Rabiu Kwakwanso and Danjuma Goje are all being harassed for holding opinions that do not suit the whims and caprices of the executive.

Only last week, the security architecture in the National Assembly was compromised, paving the way for the invasion of the Senate chambers by strangers who disrupted proceedings, harassed and threatened our lawmakers and forcefully took away the mace.

We know that the unrelenting assault is aimed at silencing strong dissenting voices, emasculate the legislature and prevent it from playing its constitutional duties of checking the excesses and impunity of the executive arm.

We urge Nigerians to look beyond partisan sentiments and join in condemning the attack on the institution of the legislature, without which we cannot be a democratic nation.

Finally, the PDP appeals to our lawmakers not to allow their spirits to be broken or buckle to intimidation. They must continue in their pursuit of their oath of office and allegiance and in their onerous goal of making laws for the good governance of our nation.

it is quite embarrassing that 3years down the line, there is still no opposition party in Nigeria. in a sane society PDP would have gone into extinction by now, i Know they cannot survive another 4years of opposition politics even though they are playing politics of bitterness. A Party where lawmakers are jumping fence to sit and teargassed have such temerity to criticise how a sinator will be handled. we need another party for the youths not the obasanjo 3rd term force through the back door. The youths of this country needs to realise the Executhieve arm is not the Major Problem of this country, the legislooters are the major problem. what we need to do is to Hijack the legislative arm of government. most of us are not even aware of the age requirements to contest such seat. House of representatives is 30years and above, Senate is 35years and above, then what are we talking about. It is very much easier to hijack the senate and HoR than the executive arm of government...#youthhijacklegislativearm.

So it was his support for Saraki that led him to tell Tinubu's wife he will beat her, rape her and nothing would happen.
When Tinubu said the battle line has been drawn, the fool went to take pictures near Tinubu's house.
Now he is facing the music. His recall is still warming up and waiting for him.

The entrenched interests against the Nigerian people are revealing themselves daily. Buhari sent the appropriation bill containing the intended purchase of those helicopters to the senate since November 2017, and those thieves refused to work on it. They instead preferred to tax the heads of parastatals for bribes and delay the passage of the bill. The deadline for 2020 deliveries for those helicopters was in March and Buhari had no choice but to authorize the payment of the aircrafts inorder to meet the 2020 delivery date. Those criminals in the NA are now using that to declare impeachment proceedings against the President!
The NA has been shielding criminals, thieves and money launderers including Bukola Saraki. The NA expects the FG to step down corruption charges against them because they feel nothing can work or function without their authorization. They have been trying to blackmail the FG into bribing them and removing corruption probes on them inorder to pass bills. And those are the people that Nigerians are calling heroes of democracy!!!!
I pity Nigerians!!!
No wonder Buhari said Nigerian youths are lazy! They don't know anything but to collect bribes and N50 egunge from the likes of Dino Melaye and Ayo Fayose.

The current Senate is the worst. The Senate that cut budgets to hinder executive from performing and only good at enacting laws that altered well laid down regulations, protect themselves from arrest, create unending income for themselves, unready to work with the executive, have several corruption cases hanging on most of them, trying to create immunity laws for themselves , etc. The Senate under Jonathan appeared the best. External people have been directing them

This senate is the best in the history of Nigeria. Take it or leave it.
Senate that has refused to pass the 2018 appropriation bill and the 2018 budget submitted to them since November 2017?

Senate that is shielding the likes of Stella oduah, Dino Melaye, Dakingari, David mark and Ekwerenmadu from persecution for corrupt enrichment?

Senate whose head, Bukola Saraki, is under investigation for corruption?

Senate whose leader, Bukola Saraki, has been mention in every single corruption scandal in Nigeria since 2015 (Panama leaks, looting of Paris loan refunds, Illegal vehicle purchase and houses in London acquired with unexplained wealth)?

Senate that suspends any member that exposes corrupt practices and illegalities (Ali Ndume)

Senate whose deputy President is under investigation for corrupt enrichment?

Senate that appropriated illegal allowances to its members? Allowances that are unknown to the Nigerian constitution and the RMFAC? Allowances that are even secret?
