Adeyemi said while some governors were committed to the welfare and protection of their people, Abia was ravaging in poverty.
He had said, “In some states where we have highly intelligent people, highly educated people, very enterprising people, like Abia, they are governed by drunkards. The governor of Abia is a champagne drinking man.
“Abia people are impoverished more than ever before. Abia people are unfortunate.”

Reacting, Melaye described Adeyemi as a drug addict.
In a tweet, Melaye wrote: “It is shocking that a diabolical father of a known drug addict who even went to a rehabilitation centre will call the decent Governor of Abia State names. I apologise unbehalf of this blood thirsty senator.”
