APC youths condemn Senator Dino Melaye

Senator Dino Melaye, a fallen man

The youth leader of the All Progressives Congress, Southwest zone, Femi Egbedeyi, has condemned the verbal assault of Senator Dino Melaye against Senator Remi Tinubu (OON).

In a statement issued today, the APC youth leader stated: ”The Southwest APC read with consternation Melaye’s public boast that nothing will happen to him if he carries out his threat.

”Melaye has escaped judgment so far despite his well documented history of notoriety for violent conduct both in public and private affairs. He now lives in fool’s paradise with the mindset of being a law unto himself. But he has forgotten that anyone who climbs the tree beyond the branches will kiss the soil.

”In our view, Melaye’s case is not about the fact that nothing can happen to him if he carries out his threat. We want to let him know that that something has indeed happened to him as the fate of uncultured and uncouth people like him are already sealed in the Yoruba lifeworld.

”It is only a matter of time before he realizes, perhaps too late, that he has crossed the Rubicon and the bridges behind him are burnt and left for him now is the weight of the punishment of his previous violent escapades.

”No one should cry for Melaye when his terrible fate begins to unravel as a grace-to-grass narrative. He has had many opportunities to turn a new leaf but has spurned all, preferring to be a perpetual disgrace to all social institutions that produced him.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel.

Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel.

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
