Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has denied making comments about the health of Federal High Court judge, Justice Peter Lifu, following remarks by elder statesman Buba Galadima linking him to discussions surrounding the judge’s reported illness.
Melaye, in a post on his X account on Saturday, expressed surprise that Galadima mentioned his name while discussing the judge’s health, insisting that he had never made any statement on the matter.
He also criticised Galadima, suggesting that his age was affecting his memory.
“I was extremely shocked to hear that Alhaji Buba Galadima mentioned that I made comments on Justice Lifu’s health. It is most unfortunate because I never made any comment on Justice Lifu’s health.
“Old age must be catching up with Buba Galadima. Now I know you can’t cure old age, you can only manage it,” Melaye wrote.
Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, had criticised members of the African Democratic Congress over their reported reaction to the judge’s illness.
Speaking during an interview on African Independent Television on Wednesday, Galadima referred to information that the ADC had obtained a certified true copy of a judgment delivered against the party. He also mentioned Melaye while discussing reports that some ADC members had reacted to the judge’s reported health condition.
