Some members of the APC are very unhappy with the treatment meted out on Senator Dino Melaye.
According to some APC senators including, Shehu Sani and Muhammed Shittu, the treatment of Melaye is against his fundamental human rights.
Speaking on the issue on the Senate floor, he said; “Everybody has right to freedom and right to be treated according to the law. The law now works against people who are perceived to be enemies.
“You fight for change and this is the kind of change we are experiencing today. There are proofs and I know because of what I’ve said, I can be killed. I don’t mind being killed. It is good for one to speak the truth and be killed,” he said.
He added; “Everybody is against the National Assembly as if we are the enemies of this nation. We are not enemies. We are representatives of the people and as such, we must speak the truth.
“We should condemn, in totality, what is happening. What is happening is not the change. How can a serving senator be treated like that?
“If this is change, I doubt if I can continue under this kind of environment. And I know a lot of people share similar opinion with me.
“This is no change. We didn’t vote this government to be mistreated. We didn’t vote this government to abuse court processes and procedures. It’s not fair, we advise the government to change before it is late,” he said.
