The All Progressives Congress member representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Dino Melaye, addressing journalists in Abuja, Thursday.

The All Progressives Congress member representing Kogi West Senatorial District,
 Senator Dino Melaye, on Thursday explained that he insulted Senator Oluremi Tinubu,
 during an executive session at the Senate after she referred to him as a thug.
Melaye, however, said he was willing to apologise if he had wronged any individual
 in the matter.
“If there are instances that I am not a super human being, if there are instances
 where as a human being I have reacted negatively I am also ready to be
 apologetic about it. But in this particular instance, I have never mentioned
 anybody’s name, I never even used insolent languages.

“I will continue to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, I will
 continue to be a voice to the voiceless and in reaction I heard that Senator 
Bola Ahmed Tinubu said my political career has come to an end.Reacting to 
the statement purportedly made by Remi Tinubu’s husband and leader of the 
All Progressives Congress, Chief Bola Tinubu on his political career, Melaye said
 the APC leader is no god and cannot determine his political career.
“I want to say that Tinubu is no god. I fear only the God almighty, I fear no soul 
I only respect souls. So far my political journey to the House of Representatives 
and the Senate has no political, financial or moral contribution of Senator Bola
 Ahmed Tinubu.
“The God who has brought me this far is mighty, strong and enough to take me
 further, what God has given me no man can give and what God has given to me 
no man can take. I want to assure you that this is the true story of what transpired.”
