The popular and controversial politician, Dino Melaye lied about him graduating as the best student at Baze University.
The popular and controversial politician, Dino Melaye lied about him graduating as the best student at Baze University.
You will recall that the former senator who graduated with a second class lower had earlier claimed he was the “best graduating law student”, a lie peddled by one of his aides and corroborated by the politician on social media.
According to a document seen by Peoples Gazette, Dino Melaye was lying and never emerged the best graduating student at Baze University.
His aide Bode Gbadebo had first posted on Facebook that, “Senator Dino Melaye graduates from Baze University, emerges best graduating law student.”
The Baze University convocation list shows that Mr Melaye finished with a “weak second-class lower”. The ex-senators claim misled news outlets into publishing false reports.
However, newsmen lament the effort to reach him on Sunday morning to ask him about his lie, as he abruptly hung up the phone.
Mr Melaye’s dubious claim is despite residing abroad and rarely attending classes since losing his re-election into the national assembly in 2019. He was widely deemed as highly controversial for his combative conduct at the parliament, including numerous physical attacks on his colleagues.
