Senator Melaye, on Thursday, posted a picture of himself during his NYSC days, in reaction to claims that he did not obtain a degree from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.
The photo of himself at the NYSC gold camp in Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, was tagged, “ABU 99 set at NYSC camp in KD. Me in blue short”.

But the photo, however, gained him clap backs as some twitter users accused him of being a “deviant person”, in reaction to the Senators manner of dressing in the photo.
A twitter user, @mukhtaryl10 wondered why Melaye, who ordered the customs CG Hameed Ali, to appear before the senate in complete uniform, was not wearing the youth service uniform in the photo.
In reaction to the photo, other twitter users came hard on the Senator.

@dino_melaye and you open your mouth to tell customs CG Hameed Ali to wear uniform while you’ve been a deviant right from day one
