The All Progressives Congress (APC) women and other groups in Ondo state have disclosed that a protest will be staged against Senator Dino Melaye in Akure, the state capital following his recent outburst on Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Fola Olasehinde-Vincente, coordinator of the protest and former member of the state House of Assembly, stated that the protest will hold today, July 18.
Describing the action of the Kogi senator as “indecent and shameful”, Fola Olasehinde-Vincente called on every woman across the globe to rise up against any assault on fellow women, saying “an attack on one woman is an attack on all women”.
Olasehinde-Vincente said: “Melaye could flex his muscles if he so will, but not by being a bully in the Senate as evident in the way he sprang up from his seat and charged towards Senator Tinubu and threatened to physically assault her.
“The attack was the height of legislative rascality ever perpetrated by any lawmaker in the country.”
The former lawmaker representing Ose Constituency further stated that Melaye had records of assaults and physical attacks on women, especially with his first wife, Tokunbo.
In a similar development, the South West Zone of the APC has ordered Senator Dino Melaye to regard the zone as a “no-go area”
