Senator Dino Melaye Mocks Governor Oshiomhole For Marrying Foreign Wife

The Chairman, Senate Committee on the Federal Capital
Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, mocked the Edo State
Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday, while
contributing to a motion seeking the need to patronise
products made in Nigeria.
Melaye, who is from Kogi-West senatorial district, while
contributing to the motion by Senator Enyinnaya
Abaribe, which advocated the need to patronise
products made in Nigeria, took a swipe at Oshiomhole,
saying Nigerians should not emulate the governor whom
he said opted not to “patronise ‘Made-in-Nigeria
women’ but a foreign one”.
Melaye was referring to Iara, the wife of Oshiomhole,
whom he married from Cape Verde in the Southern
African region.
He, therefore, advised Nigerians not to only patronise
goods made in Nigeria, but also made-in-Nigeria
women.
He said,
“I want to celebrate the ‘Made-in-Nigeria
senator’ for bringing up this motion. In
considering goods produced in Nigeria, we
must look at the enabling factors that will
necessitate the goods.
“It is beyond having one made in Nigeria
attire and having over 70 designers’ attires in
your wardrobe. We must reduce the
allocation for made-in-Nigeria goods and
services to the basics.
“What are those factors limiting the
production of these goods? We must tackle
them. We must also begin to look at our
legislation, then we will begin to talk about
made-in-Nigeria goods.
“We will also move in order to encourage
made-in-Nigeria products and begin to talk
about made-in-Nigeria women.
“Apologies to my uncle, the Governor of Edo
State, we must as a people stop paying
dowries in dollars and pounds. It is time for
my colleagues here to become born again.”
