Melaye Should’ve Been Mentally Evaluated Before Returning To Senate – Presidency

The Presidency has said the embattled Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye should have undergone mental evaluation before returning back to the Senate.

Recall that the lawmaker was away from the Senate for a couple of weeks following an alleged criminal offence case.

Melaye, after resuming duties first made rounds on the social media as he decamped from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The senator, yesterday, also rebuked President Muhammadu Buhari for stating that some lawmakers have spent a long time without doing anything, demanding that they deserved an apology.

In a reaction, Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie said Melaye needs mental evaluation.

In a tweet, Onochie wrote: “It’s an absurdity that Melaye, who is standing trial for alleged criminal offences, who in a suicide bid, jumped out of a moving vehicle and whose obsessive compulsion disorder makes him think he owns the Nass, should be allowed to return to the Senate without proper mental evaluation.

“One day, Dino Melaye, will come to terms that the Nass doesn’t belong to him. In his delusional state and on bail, he’s shamefully back to his clowning.

“I would hope that he confines his rascality to unsuccessfully suppressing opposing views in the Senate. Let the President be.”
