The member representing Ondo Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, wept before members of his constituency in Akure on Monday as he apologised to them that he voted in error to support the senate resolution backing marriage of underage girls.
Akinyelure was summoned by his constituents to explain his role in the controversial passage of a resolution to retain the provision of Section 29 (4) (b) of the 1999 Constitution, which states that a married underage girl is deemed to be an adult.
Politicians, women groups and students
had besieged the Adegbemile Hall, venue of the meeting, with placards to
protest against what they described as the legalisation of sexual abuse
of young girls, which their representative had supported.
But Akinyelure burst into tears as he
laboured to convince the obviously enraged crowd at the tension-soaked
session that he mistakenly pressed the wrong button during the
electronic voting exercise thinking that he was voting against child
marriage.
The Senator said he had aligned his
thought with that of other senators, who supported the resolution that
the provision should be expunged from the constitution.
He added that the resolution was
paraphrased again in a way that confused him to mean that pressing the
‘No’ button would mean voting against the resolution that the resolution
should be retained in the constitution.
He said, “I am very sorry for this
costly mistake. I actually voted in error. I pressed the ‘No’ button
during the electronic voting session, thinking that I was kicking
against the early marriage. I can never support such barbaric and wicked
bill.”

When will our predecessors stop misleading the younger generation. How can he say he pressed the wrong button when he votes in every sitting in the house. Mister oloshi stop all this your crocodile tears and present your underage daughters for marriage before OGUN strike you dead. Idiot..ROA

This man is saying rubbish. If his constituency had not called him to explain would he have said that it was a mistake. Was d bill just passed yesterday abi since last week? Was d proceeding in hebrew or spanish or chinese that he did not understand? He should go an sit down jor with his yeye tears. Shior.
U are a fool senator so shameless nd uneducated what of silly mistake foolish man z ur underaged daughters dat will get married ist idiot
U call him a fool, u should learn how to talk. If ur parents refused to give u a sound home training, then I guess ull get it on from us thru linda's blog. I hate cowards, can u say it infront of the man? Wat if he does not apologise, will u do anytin to hi? U se, my people, dats d problem of nigerians. D man came out to apologise nd u r here saying rubbish. Pls if u don't av anytin sensible to say, keep tarcit. It means keep mute for life
Its a pity that most of you dont know Akinyelure, I want to believe he was not paying attention. This man is a chartered accountant, chartered tax consultant and he is the owner of Allover Polytechnic. He id highly educated.
Any body way say him wan cum marry my underage daugther na AK47 I go take follow am I don't care abt their under age law cus most of those senate r fools setting there wit no furture plane MUMU ppl
If the vote was for whether he should earn his salary this month, e for press wrong button? Idiot.
You forgot to add peadophile
pervets and bloody peadoephiles.its no news to me,people rape their cousins,househelps,children etc and people cover them for such flimsy excuses as marriage and family.Now that they are trying to pass it into law,why do we shout.Most of the writers here are guilty of either perpetrating or covering up d ill when i happens.JUDGE YASEF FIRST.Love you linda nwa ikeji.
Chartered paedophile.
My thought exactly, but the guy forget d kain pple wey him dey represent? They are already working 2wards recalling him in his constituency. Ondo pple d wildest wild wild west. Denial and weeping are his only playable cards.
Word! Nice piece there......he's simply not educated so wat is he doing in abj.
No way 4ward d did has been done
just fucking resign!!!cant be making costly mistakes like that...with all the money you get you still don't know how to answer constructive questions... do the honorable thing and resign if you are really sorry. thats what happens in other countries...bet not with this ugly fool.
Even if he's saying the truth,it is shameful 4 someone in dat position dat masses put their trust to speak their mind n stand 4 it,coming out 2 say he made mistake. Dats a costly one he made.if I'm in his shoe I'll rather come up with a more reasonable excuse rather dan sayn dat bullshit
@anonymous 12:01pm.. wow.. you must really know sola... may your generation roast in hell for life.. jealousy kills...
Resign & it is the honorable thing to do for your ignorance
Resign & it is the honorable thing to do for your ignorance
I ignored that Annon.'s comment about your sister as it sounded like a person beefing her until you decided to do the wrong thing by replying, went to check your sisters pict on Facebook. She is young and pretty though. Learn not to dignify certain comments with replies like yours. It did not do your pretty sister any justice.
senator,you are fooling yourself and your family,where is that Ghana must go bag YARIMA and others gave you,by GOD grace your daughter will fall victim and his YARIMA that will marry her
if u have a problem with her (S.O) Anon 12.01pm please don't hide behind anonymous to show jealousy it is quite petty .
Choi!!! See d kind of olodos millions of nigerians put their lives in, ehh? If it were a Jamb question or waec essay he definitely would have failed woefully, or wait can someone look up his educational backgrd if any sef??? Lol
Please google before u comment about people he is a very educated man. all I wonder about is that the list publish does not equate to 2/3 of the house something is fishy
well said 2:48
Senotor Akinyelure is a well educated man and am sure there's more to the story...
Such mistake... U shouldn't even be a senator in the first place if u can't understand simple things like YES N NO. So what about the other 33 senators?? I know the bastard Yerima still thinks its ok to have a 13yr old wife #bigfool. He needs to be locked up.
I hope my Edo people would do same. to that bastard who would soon claim he voted in error.
What mistake?! This guy is just a hybrid, a nice mix of a moron and an idiot.
Comment of the century!
He is just a fool at forty
MAJORITY OF THESE SENATORS ARE IDIOTS. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DEBATING ON HALF THE TIME. ITS A SHAME TO THIS COUNTRY THAT WE HAVE A GROUP OF DUNCE PARADING THEMSELVES AS OUR LEADERS. I SPIT ON ALL THE SENATORS WHO VOTE TO PASS THE MOTION, MAY THE LORD PUNISH ALL OF YOU AND YOUR GENERATION. BASTARDS
YOU THIS USELESS HE-GOAT....STEP DOWN.
This is unacceptable,senator.You re a disgrace to Ondo pple.You even complicated issues more by lying.You need to be replaced!
Olodo grade1. Remove this retardation mumu person from dat seat. He has no business making any costly mistake. How much is he being paid. In fact he should be flogged 30 times on each naked peodophile buttock of his. See he yeye face. Nonsense .
Aw! I don't even no which is worse the fact that you endorsed child raping or the stupid idiot excuse you are giving through crocodile tears
BLOODY FOOL!!
bloody bloody liar, this is the height of illiteracy ode oshi
The people voted in error for him 2011 nd dat wuld be corrected
I only have one thing to say; a theif is not sorry when he's not caught but once he is, he bcoms sorry. Abeg Mr Senator, we don't have cotton wool brain. Go tell ur lies somewhere else.
Ayo Akinyelure(Allover) was my boss for many years. I can say that I know his way of reasoning. I was shocked when I read his name on that list. He would never stand for child marriage. I believe him if he says he voted in error.
The most annoying aspect of this whole perversion is that the so called abokis who want to marry unborn girl children are actually UNCIRCUMCISED and this acclaimed senator who is a loyal countepart now pretends to be ignorant. GOD IS WATCHING AND WILL PAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS!!!
The truth be say......d senator ear tie wrapper or d brain went in a state of 'tabularasa'.
eleribu anumpama was he drunk wen he voted? msheeeeeww na water plenty for ya eyes na y u dey cry crocodile tears fooooooool
Yeah, I know wetin happen. Dem pin am for mirror. Im no know when im hand endorse pedophilia. namashiobiri. Funky ignoramuses we call leaders.
Abeg na pastor okotie na read d topic wen d man no undrstand the English. He for asked question. Na dis kind senator na dey spy for school even to the extend of copying pple's name. What a shame? So as d mistake is done na failure dat needs a carry over. Sir, pls go back to local govt chairman. Thanks. Linda u berra post my comment. Finally some pple re yabbing this guy but spelling don fall my brain. Some1 wrote release instead of realise-blessing 10:16am correct urself now. Study 2 show thy self. U re a victim
Illiterate!

He is an ass. was he on cheap drugs while endorsing?
Brain dead senator
Am highly dissapointed@u senator what a blunder if it was a mistake as said then invent an electronic erazer and do the right thing rep_n
AKcity we ONDO state people don't discriminate he will be rightly dealt with...
What do you expect from an half baked illiterate senator like Akinyelure.His tears are not convincing enough.what is with the botton ,he,s not enlightened about?It,s his type that sends wrong signals to the youth of this country.Ondo people should not take kindly to this.of all the senators in the south,he messed up and deserves to be removed.
GOD PUNISH ALL THE SENETORS TAHT VOTED FOR THIS MODERN DAY SLAVERY IN DISGUIESE IN NIGERIA...ALL THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE USELESS, HAVE CANCER AND THE EARTH WITH REJECT THEM THEM FOR ALL THEIR GENERATIONS...OR ANY CHILD THAT HAS THEIR BLOOD! THEY WILL HAVE NO PEACE!
STORY....HE SHOULD RESIGN TO SHOW HE WAS TRULY SORRY!
dis senator must be very sick! he voted in error..how? was he not there when the bill was debated. if i have my way i did kill the basterd!!!
I dont think you understand the ramifications of this. Your 13yr old daughter can marry now without your consent. All that is needed is for one man to twist her mind with gifts or money or even sweet words and they will run away and marry and there aint a damn thing you can do about it becos by law she is allowed. At least before you could say she is still a child but not anymore. don't bury ur head in the sand and think it doesn't concern you becos it really really does.
Kmt. Only in Nigeria. Illiterate
Shameless illiterate senator
Fantastic!
Why vote, when he did not understand. He should have simply decline to vote either for or against. He thinks we all are fools abi? Definitely, he is one of the so called Aristo that destroys the lives of underage girls.
