Ikpeazu: Smart Adeyemi Is A Bloodthirsty Senator – Dino Melaye

A former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye has lambasted his successor in the Senate, Smart Adeyemi over his comments on Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.

While contributing to a debate at the Senate on Tuesday, Adeyemi steered reaction in the senate over his comment describing Governor Ikpeazu as a “champagne drinking man”.

Adeyemi while speaking on a motion on Safe School Initiative in Nigeria said Abia State is governed by “drunkards”.

He said: “Despite that, some governors are doing their best, we are lucky to have a governor who has taken the issue of security as a serious priority.”

“We are bordered by nine states, but we had an experience of the unfortunate incidents that are happening in neighbouring states.”

“Some governors are committed to the protection of their people. In my state, the governor awarded contracts for the renovations of schools and provides security services to them.”

“In some states where we have highly intelligent people, highly educated people, very enterprising people, like Abia, they are governed by drunkards. The governor of Abia is a champagne drinking man.”

“Abia people are impoverished more than ever before. Abia people are unfortunate.”

Reacting in a post on his Twitter page on Tuesday, Dino Melaye described Senator Adeyemi’s son as a ‘known drug addict.’

He wrote: “It is shocking that a diabolical father of a known drug addict who even went to a rehabilitation centre will call the decent Governor of Abia State names. I apologise on behalf of this blood-thirsty senator.”
