Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has described Dino Melaye as a political Hushpuppi capable of sleeping on three different political beds in one night.
Fayose stated this while reacting to a statement credited to Melaye, when he said, “mauling of Amala gained more publicity over the collection of the presidential nomination form, in a pretentious exhibition of dining with the masses.”
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Melaye, who represented Kogi West in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, has described the attack on two presidential hopefuls in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Bukola Saraki by Fayose as ‘the belching perfidy of a presidential gambler’
Melaye said the presidency is a serious business that is beyond “eating amala and ponmo”.
“Inebriated by several wraps of amala in Abuja, former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, in his characteristic exuberance directed indecent and indecorous attacks at two serious contenders for the presidential ticket of the People’s Democratic Party, HE Atiku Abubakar and HE Bukola Saraki.”
The former Senator made the above statement after Fayose in an interview on Channels TV, Politics Today, severely cricitised Atiku and Saraki for leaving the PDP before the 2015 election.
He said “Jonathan, despite his flaws, we had supported him and some of our leaders didn’t go to APC …if some of them (who left the party) had become Presidents in Abuja would they come back? Will Atiku come back? Would Bukola Saraki have come back?
“When the journey was rough and bad, they ran back. Today, because our party is a party that tries to bring people together, we must not forget history. “Today, I’m glad they are challenging people jumping from one party to the other, those are the ideologies that are missing,” he added.
Reacting to Melaye’s statement, Fayose’s spokesman, Lere Olayinka said: “No time to dignify any #Hushpuppi politician who is capable of sleeping on three different political beds in one night.”
“If the man he is deceiving with his fake support speaks, we will respond accordingly.”
“As for Fayose, Nigeria and its people must be rescued from this APC Calamity that political jester of Kogi teamed up with others to enthrone.”
“That is a project to which he (Fayose) is totally committed, not rantings of a jester in the palace of politics.”
