The National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress has refused to make a public comment over the verbal utterances that transpired between Senators Dino Melaye and Oluremi Tinubu because a formal complaint is yet to be made. A member of the party’s National Working Committee who pleaded anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said,

“It will amount to crying more than the bereaved for the party to dabble into a matter that is yet to be brought before it.”
A party source said, “There are procedures for dealing with issues of indiscipline which acts such as what allegedly transpired between the two distinguished senators could fall under.
“First, there has to be a formal complaint which will be sent to the disciplinary committee to look into.
“The committee will investigate and also invite the person who is accused of committing an offence. It is after we have heard from both the petitioner and the respondent and a guilty verdict is entered; that a recommendation for disciplinary action can be made to the relevant authorities.
“All these procedures have to be followed before any action can be taken.”
He further said, “As of today, to the best of my knowledge, there has not been any petition before the party.”
