Saraki, Tinubu, Melaye in Valentine’s Day drama

The Valentine’s Day celebration hit the Senate chamber in a dramatic form on Wednesday.

The day’s plenary began on a dramatic note when the Majority Whip, Senator Sola Adeyeye, called members to order for the session to commence properly.

Adeyeye called the attention of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to three senators — Dino Melaye, Oluremi Tinubu and Monsurat Sunmonu — who were in red to reflect the Valentine’s Day mood.

Celebrators of the day are usually dressed in red and white.

The Chief Whip said, “Senator Oluremi Tinubu from Lagos-Central; the original ‘Ajekun iya’ from Kogi-West, Senator Dino Melaye; and from Oyo-Central, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu, are reflecting the Valentine’s Day spirit. The chamber is now set for today’s session.”

Opening the session, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, said, “Thank you, the Chief Whip, for your observation.”

Saraki later asked Melaye to move a motion for the adoption of the Votes and Proceedings of the last legislative day (Tuesday).
