Tinubu had accused Melaye of assaulting her verbally during an executive session of the Senate last week Tuesday.Melaye had, however, denied the allegation, claiming instead that Tinubu insulted him.Tinubu said when she started to think about all that transpired in the Senate for some days on Wednesday, she shed tears for the first time since her encounter with Melaye. . . She said, “When the Senate President invited me yesterday and I gave my word.
You can see the channel I have taken in the aftermath of the event. I reported to the IGP; I wrote to him also, after I waited for one week. When it happened, it was him I went to. I waited for one week and nothing was done. I also wrote to the party (APC) chairman. . .
I met with the Senate leadership yesterday (Tuesday) after one week; I met with him (Senate President Bukola Saraki) yesterday. And as a Christian, I said I had already forgiven him (Melaye) for even with the way I was treated.
But the point is that what people don’t realise is that I am a very reserved person. “After I gave my word to him (Saraki) yesterday, I told myself that at 55 I am not a wimp of anybody. I witnessed the Sani Abacha regime and I know what I saw and why I am committed to this cause. But now, my hands are tied to say I forgive people. I am a Christian; when I give my word, I must abide by it. But I am not scared to follow this through. .
