Senator Dino Melaye on Wednesday said the former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode is “irrelevant” and “not in the political scheme of things”.

Melaye stated this on social media as he appeared to end his spat with Fani-Kayode.

“I will no longer dignify someone who is irrelevant and not in the political scheme of things,” said Melaye who is one of the spokesmen of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign.

The former Kogi West Senator added that he wanted to concentrate on his job.

“No more response to statements made under influence. Am 100% focused on APC and the colossal failure and calamity they brought upon us. We in the PDP through Atiku will rescue Nigeria,” he noted.

The fight between the former allies began a few days ago after Melaye allegedly stated that all governors under the Peoples Democratic Party spent money on ensuring that Iyorchia Ayu emerged as the party’s national chairman.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode knocked Melaye for making such a comment and then called for the arrest and prosecution of Ayu and the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
