Am a new member of BDcommunity am posting for the first time, I'm excited that is back with some interesting writing contest and I'm excited to participate. Thanks to
for informing me about it.
My amiable senator he came to existence on 1st January 1974, is a well known Nigerian politician, a Senator and was a member of the 8th Nigerian National Assembly, he represented Kogi West Senatorial district. he is a member of the People’s Democratic Party. In 2015 he moved to All Progressives Congress (APC) but returned to PDP stating that the former party was not a fair one, and in the buildup to 2019 elections after months of political struggle with Kogi State governor.
He was the Chairman Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory Abuja. And briefly the Senate Committee chair person on aviation in the country. he is of average heights and dark in complexion.
Melaye is recently unmarried. He was married but his wife filed for divorce after she accused him of domestic violence against her, where claimed that he beat her up and and threatened to kill her, the marriage yields three children.
These are some reasons i like him, has won many several awards,such as Best Honourable Representative of the Year by Global Youth Awareness and Development Initiative, Protector of the Youth P.D.P National Youth Vanguard, Epitome of Servant by National Association of Kogi State Students, Youth Libra for Award by the Visioners Club of Kogi State, the Great Motivator of Students by Nigerian Economic Student Association, Icon of Good Leadership by Kogi Peoples Forum,and many more to mention just few.
What baffles me more about him is his boldness, even when he was a senator he always is on the front-line of most news papers in the country, either about how he exchange blows in the senate house or how he Melaye had threatened to beat up Senator Oluremi Tinubu and ‘impregnate’ hahaha... indeed he is a fun field man never afraid to speak out, and always on point.
I remembered In Abuja on 5 January, Mr Melaye slumped after he surrendered to the police force,funny right? he did all that just to resist arrest.
But so many citizens are not at all in good terms with him, because most of them accuse him of embezzling money from the nation to acquire great wealth, at times i want to believe them because of all i could know he is a politician and not a business man, so for him acquiring such wealth is surprising.
but anyways he would always be my favorite politician because no matter what he gives listening ears to the younger generation.
