Dino Melaye
The seriousness in the senate momentarily went comical when Senator
Dino Melaye (Kogi West) addressed the Senate President, Bukola Saraki
as 'Speaker'.
The odd moment took place when Melaye, who is a loyalist of Saraki
was advocating for the labour rights of the enstranged ex-workers of
the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
According to DailyTrust, Melaye reportedly stood up to raise a
point of order 41(b) over the alleged illegal disengagement of workers
of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) when he addressed Saraki as
"Mr Speaker Sir" instead of the usual "The Senate President Sir".
This attracted a moment of laughter by his colleagues. Immediately
after the laughter, Melaye sought to tender a petition written by the
disengaged workers.The Senate President granted his plea and he tendered
the petition.
The petition as presented by Senator Melaye is seeking the Senate to compel the FIRS to re-engage the disengaged staff
