Mrs. Funmilayo Olumodeji, the woman leader of an All Progressives Congress (APC) group, has said that Senator Oluremi Tinubu should apologise to Senator Dino Melaye.
Olumodeji said Senator Tinubu did not do the right thing by pointing at Melaye, whatever the matter was.
According to the woman leader, “The
person to blame for the disagreement is Senator Remi Tinubu. Even
though we were not at the meeting where the altercation took place and
may not know what led to the disagreement or who started it because it
was a closed-door meeting, yet I was well briefed on the development.
“From
what I gathered, it was Senator Tinubu in her usual character that
started it by hurling insults at Senator Melaye and calling him names.
It does not speak well of a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
who is serving her second term. “
Olumodeji,
who spoke with Punch in an interview, slammed Senator Tinubu, saying she
has not spoken up for any cause that has to do with women.
She said “She
has clearly deviated from her calling as a representative of the women
cause. Where was Remi Tinubu when our girls were being kidnapped, raped,
forced into marriage or even killed and thrown into canals?
“Even,
the President’s wife had at one time or the other added her voice, but
it is not on record that Senator Tinubu had joined in the struggle
for the liberation of womanhood. Today, kerosene sells for N200 a
litre; we did not hear her uttering a word about this but instead, she
has been busy insulting her colleagues and gathering women by spending
millions of naira on them to protest on her behalf.”
Senator Dino Melaye reportedly threatened to beat up Senator Oluremi Tinubu and impregnate.
