DRAMA QUEEN… STILL ON SEN. REMI TINUBU’S PRICEY DIATRIBE
•WHY ANDY UBA IS UNHAPPY WITH HER
The resonance of her words cut through the Senate like a Viking blade set between the jaws of a man. By the time Senator Remi Tinubu was done with her tirade, both her friends and political foes, in the Senate, were visibly miffed. Many of them felt that the wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader and two-time governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, should have been less confrontational with words. Widely called ‘Lioness of Bourdillion’, Senator Remi is well known for her bluntness and penchant to say it as it is no matter whose ox is gored. Recently, she accused the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, of demoting her during senate proceedings. Recently, the National Assembly experienced mild drama as Senator Remi who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Women Affairs, raised the alarm that the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, had ‘demoted’ her.

She challenged Saraki for placing Senator Andy Uba higher than her during the adoption of votes and proceedings of penultimate Wednesday. She raised the issue when Saraki asked her to second the motion by Senator Uba, PDP, Anambra South. Saraki had at the commencement of that day’s sitting asked Senator Uba to move the motion for the adoption of votes and proceedings in consonance with the tradition of the Senate.

Both Senator Tinubu and Saraki are second timers at the Upper Chamber as they have been at the Senate since 2011. When Senate President Saraki asked Senator Tinubu to second Uba’s motion, she stood up, protested it, saying “I am protesting, I will second it grudgingly, I won’t thank you for demoting me, God is here.” This didn’t go down well with Andy, a billionaire politician who feels that Senator Remi ought to have shown greater respect to him. “I was a better Senator than him even when we were at the seventh Senate,” she reportedly said.
