Dino Melaye has stated that he moved the highest number of motions and bills despite being a singing and dancing senator.

The former lawmaker who represented Kogi West Senatorial District disclosed this after he was attacked by former presidential aspirant, Remi Sonaiya, over a coronavirus joke he cracked on social media.

Dino Melaye had tweeted: "The New Nigerian Order. People who live abroad used to be scared of villagers when they return home... but now, villagers are scared of them!!! Senator Dino MELAYE."

Remi Sonaiya reacted to his tweet, writing: "I believe that the exalted position you occupy demands a lot more seriousness. This kind of joke - plus the singing and dancing - should be left to others. #SeriousLeadership."

In response, Dino Melaye wrote: "We in exalted positions have blood flowing thru our veins, not kerosene. D hypocrisy of leaders is responsible for d disconnect with d people. How does cracking a joke affect productivity? I sing & moved highest number of motions and bills..i beg those that sing not wetin dem do?".
