In a press statement
released late on Tuesday night, July 12, 2016, Dino denied reported
unruly behaviour and misconduct during the Tuesday session.
The
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, debunked
the reports saying, " It is pertinent to note that the incredulously
machinated misinformation was orchestrated by forces bent on
destabilizing the upper chambers of the Nigerian Parliament for selfish
reasons."
Continuing,
he said, "One of the mushroom and faceless online platform used to
promote the ill-fated, calumnious write-up has been notorious for
serving as the propagandist machinery of political commercialists who
are pushing for the extension of their fiefdom to the National Assembly .
"While I remain unimpeachably committed to the
leadership of the Senate, I believe the respected arm of government
charged with the onerous responsibility of law making should be given
the independence to conduct its business," he stressed.

Speaking further,
Senator Melaye said, "It is untrue and malicious ; the narrative of the
attack dogs of demagogues who have decided to turn Nigeria upside down
for failing to choose leaders for Senators."
On
his character, the controversial Senator stressed that he is a
responsible Nigerian and a role model who would not stoop so low to
behave in the reported manner.
"I
am a responsible Nigerian, role model and a champion of anti-corruption
and equity which my party stands for. I therefore urge the general
public to discountenance the libellous publication as I will continue to
respect the history, culture and excellence of my Kogi West people on
the floor of the Senate," he said.
Melaye rounded
off saying that the true threat to the current Republic are those who
believe a Nigeria not led by them must not exist and not him.
