Ikeja – Some protesters on Monday took to the street at Ikeja area of Lagos State to demand that controversial Senator Dino Melaye apologizes to his colleague, Remi Tinubu, wife of APC chieftain, Bola Tinubu following their recent clash at the Senate last Tuesday.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) women and other groups will also protest in Ondo State laster today.

Their coordinator and former member of the state House of Assembly, Mrs. Fola Olasehinde-Vincente, described the attack on Tinubu as “too harsh on the Nigerian women”.

In a statement, the former lawmaker representing Ose Constituency said Melaye had records of assaults and physical attacks on women, especially with his first wife, Tokunbo.

The statement noted that the action of the Kogi senator was “indecent and shameful”.

“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,” Olasehinde-Vincente said.
