Uproar As Tinubu’s Wife ‘Takes Over’ Ekweremadu's Seat
Category: Nigerian National News
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos Central and wife to
the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed on
Wednesday, November 18, raised dust in the Senate when she gracefully
sat on the seat meant for deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, The
Cable reports.
It took the reproof of the senators elected on the platform
of the Peoples Democratic Party for Tinubu to relocate back to her chair
to second a motion for the approval of Lagos state development policy
operation loan.
The rebuke came when the Senator stood up to speak while still standing in the deputy Senate president corner.
The APC leader’s wife, however, returned back to Ekweremadu’s
position, who was absent from plenary immediately after she seconded the
motion
It was learnt that she sat in the chair meant for Senate president,
Bukola Saraki’s deputy to hold conversation with the leader of the
Senate, Aliyu Ndume.
During plenary, the Senate approved the $200 million loan requested
by Lagos state government from the World Bank after a debate on the
report of its adhoc committee on local and foreign debts.
Senator Danjuwa Goje from Gombe state initially urged the Senate not
to approve the loan stating that it will leave the state with huge debt
burden for future governments but later went ahead to give his support
for the loan request.
Contributing on the loan request, Senator George Sekibo from Rivers
state urged the Senate to put proper check in place to monitor how the
money is being handled.
In a related development, Professor Ajayi Boroffice, a senator representing Ondo-North, has warned a commercial bank against granting a N7 billion loan request for the Ondo state government.
He advised that granting such loan few months to the expiration of
the tenure of Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s does not make economic sense.
