Melaye: I’m in Lagos, walking on Tinubu’s street… waiting for noise makers

Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, says he has been walking freely on Bourdillon road, Ikoyi Lagos, “waiting for noise makers”.

Oluremi Tinubu, his colleague, whom he squared off with earlier in the week, resides there.

Apparently out of reverence for Bola Tinubu, former Lagos state governor, who is Oluremi’s husband, many politicians refer to Tinubu as ‘The Lion of Bourdillon’.

Melaye’s alleged threat to attack Oluremi had led to a wave of criticism, including that of a group which warned him to stay off Lagos.

In an apparent show of bravado, Melaye took to his social media accounts on Saturday, to announce that he “just landed Lagos” and that he is “waiting” for those who said he should stay away from the state.

The lawmaker also shared photos of himself “walking freely” on the street of the highbrow area.

“This is Dino walking freely on bourdillon in Lagos. I walk down the street right now,” he wrote.

“Dino on Bourdillon street in Lagos now, walking down the street. Waiting for noise makers.”

While declaring his lack of fear of anyone, the senator who said he would be spending the weekend in the state, added that he would “drive around Lagos in an open roof vehicle”.
