Legislative Aides Reject Dino Melaye’s Brother as NASSLAF Chairman
Samuel Melaye, Chairman of National Assembly Legislative Aides Forum.
Aides of Senators and House of Representatives members under the
aegis of National Assembly Legislative Aides Forum, said on Sunday that
Samuel, the younger brother of Senator Dino Melaye, should not be
imposed on them because they had already elected Mr. Darlington Udeh, as
NASSLAF chairman.
The group in a
statement on Sunday in Abuja by its Public Relations Officer, Mr.Yusuf
Bamidele, said Melaye, was not qualified to lead NASSLAF because he had
earlier failed to secure a ticket to contest the seat at his
geo-political zone level.
The lawmakers’ aides also explained that
allowing Melaye to lead them would also amount to violation of zoning
arrangement in its constitution, because he is from the North Central,
the same geopolitical zone, with the out-going chairman, Mahmood
Muhammed.
But in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Sunday, Melaye
said, he was duly elected by over 300 of his colleagues at a well
publicised election within the National Assembly and witnessed by top
management staff, security operatives and the executive of the
parliamentary staff.
He denied losing out in an election at the
zonal level adding that the Darlington Udeh group, did not hold any
congress before it decided to hold an election where about 38 people
were said to have elected him.
Melaye said Udeh and some of his
supporters are currently being investigated by security agencies over
their roles in the disruption of the inauguration of the new NASSLAF
executive at the Senate President conference room last Thursday.
He
said, “Every important person in the National Assembly witnessed my
election where over 300 aides participated. It was widely reported in
the media and the representatives of the security agencies in the
federal parliament observed it in company with top management staff.”
The
Udeh’s group noted in its statement that it held its election on
Thursday,April 28, this year, where its officers were elected in the
full glare of the media, and wondered why some people within the
National Assembly management was trying to impose Melaye on its members.
