Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West drew a lot of attention on Tuesday when he appeared for plenary in academic robe and cap.
The senator whose first degree had come under scrutiny in the last week walked in to the red chamber clad in the full academic regalia and smiling as cameras flash and click away.
Melaye’s first degree at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria had come under scrutiny last week.
However, the question surrounding his graduation was laid to rest on Monday when the Vice Chancellor of Abuja, Prof. Ibrahim Garba confirmed that the senator graduated from the University.
Prof. Garba told the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public petitions that Melaye graduated in year 2000 as Daniel Jonah Melaye with a third class degree in Geography.
Hours after the confirmation by the VC, a video went viral where the senator was dancing and singing in yoruba language celebrating the turn of event.
On Tuesday however, the Senator appears for plenary dressed in the regalia and went round the chamber to exchange pleasantries with all the Senators
