Remi Tinubu faces Senate panel over comments made in an interview

Wife of former Lagos State Governor and a serving Senator, Oluremi Tinubu has been directed by the Senate leadership to face a Senate committee on Ethics and Privileges over recent statements she made during a recent interview she granted a print media.
 
Senator Tinubu, who represents Lagos Central Senatorial District, in an interview she granted to celebrate her 3rd year in the Senate, described the current leadership of the Senate as always working in favor of the PDP led arm of Government and also failing to address some pressing National issues.
 
Aggrieved by her remarks, Senate Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba presented it before the house at yesterday June 26th plenary session, saying it was unkind of her to have said such a thing. Continue..
 
“I think it is most unkind, it is most uncharitable for a distinguished Senator who has the opportunity of raising concerns with her colleagues, not doing so and going straight to the media to play to the gallery. So, I object very, very seriously to the comments made by Senator Tinubu and I want to submit that my privilege, as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been breached by the said Senator.” he said
The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the house referred the matter to the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions chaired by Senator Ayo Akinyelure, a Labour Party member representing Ondo Central

Ekweremadu said, “This matter is referred to the committee so that they can have Senator Tinubu present her own side of the story and if possible, invite the newspapers which published the stories"

He mandated the committee to come up with its finding within two week.

Ofcourse what she said might be the truth. I'm not surprised by the content of her comment, coz its expected of a house led by a PDP led senate president and PDP house leader.
And I'm sure same would be obtainable should APC be at the helm of affairs at the hallowed chamber.

I like Senator Tinubu. However, I wonder deeply how she, a devout Christian and born again, married a Muslim and thief! And stays married to him!

Idiots! Always looking to punish innocent women! Someone said he will make the country ungovernable and he is left untouched and a woman says something less threatening and all hell is let lose? This is a chauvinistic government! No tolerance for women!

Are we in a democracy or not? We really need to decide as a country. She can't air her opinion again?

Okay..

I will like to ask the honourable who brought the matter before the senate if he would have conceded to what honourable Oluremi said in the print if it was presented to the house in the first place. The PDP are the majority so what do you expect. They should let Honourable Oluremi be.

Whaaaaat!!! Leave her alone. Leave Remi Tinubu alone. Is there no more freedom of speech in Nigeria? Why is Remi Tinubu being intimidated, bullied and harassed. Why? Victor BIG HEAD Ndoma-Egba, damn you. You are a CAVE MAN. Nigeria is under a democratic government, not under military rule. Why the dictatorial bullsh!t? WHY? Victor BIG HEAD Ndoma-Egba, you are so painfully foolish, primitive and backward. Honest. You are a bully and a tyrant. How the hell did a rotten and corrupt creature like you sneak into the House as Senator? How? Who voted for you? Wasted vote. Honest. Go pick on a man and stop the intimidation and tyranny. I dare you to pick on any of the big guns in APC. I guarantee they'd make a mincemeat out of your silly arse. The House is not for PDP alone. She asked you to be fair and you summoned her to a kangaroo? How dare you? Are you drunk, all the time? Even if you're the Queen of the universe, she is NOT your subject or anyone's subject. She is NOT answerable to you any of you mafia gangsters and tyrants in PDP or APC. Stop acting like a dictator or clear out. Nigeria is NOT under a military rule or martial law. She has infinite freedom and right to say whatever to the media or to anyone. Remi Tinubu is NOT A SLAVE. You must accept that or go back to your village or whatever cave you came from. You, Victor BIG HEAD Ndoma-Egba is acting like a CHEAP THUG. You have no privilege. No law was broken by Senator Remi Tinubu and if she broke ang law, table it before a properly constituted court, not a kangaroo court which you rotten creatures manipulate and use to lynch your opponents. We know the scam you fcukers, smack heads, drunkards and windup merchants run in the House. Stop your intimidatory tactics. She not a slave so stop trying to subjugate her. How dare you summon her to you stupid and pointless kangaroo court??? Who the hell are you??? Victor BIG HEAD Ndoma-Egba, shame on you, scumbag.

Sen Remi Tinubu has very bad mouth. I've seen and heard her make un witty comments about the person of the President. It takes only an uncultured woman to ride her mouth rough when talking about the president's in whose administration you're serving. She's bitting the very fingers feeding her. For APC and it's cohorts, it has to APC or nobody, no one else gets it right except them, trouble makers. She should be disciplined. Dubidu.

Remi Tinubu is a rude and moody woman. If you know her well, her comments shouldn't surprise you.

APC is a jihadist party and they would use every means possible including the most untamed and uncouth speeches left right and center as well as bombs and Massacres to relay their discontent and disregard for the incumbent Government. Newsflash there's no future for them. PDP is still POWER, JONATHAN for 2015. APC will soon run into a serious crisis. Quote me.
