“Can Gov. Tabuwal hug the Sultan? Or will Gov. El-rufai hug the Emir of Zaria? If this disobedient child will not respect the seat of Ohinoyi, he should respect the age of HRM.

“Home training is not a gift,” Melaye posted on his Instagram page.

It would be recalled that Senator Dino Melaye had over the weekend announced his intention to contest for the seat of Kogi State governor.
