Senator Oluremi Tinubu has disclosed that she shed tears after her counterpart Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West, allegedly threatened to assault her at the Senate executive session last week.
Speaking on Wednesday, July 20, when lawmakers from the Lagos state house of assembly and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) paid her a solidarity visit at the national assembly complex, Abuja, Tinubu said being a Christian, she has forgiven Melaye.
“When the Senate President invited me yesterday and I gave my word. You can see the channel I have taken in the aftermath of the event. I reported to the IGP; I wrote to him also, after I waited for one week. When it happened, it was him I went to. I waited for one week and nothing was done. I also wrote to the party (APC) chairman,” PUNCH quoted her as saying.
“I met with the senate leadership yesterday (Tuesday) after one week; I met with him (Senate President Bukola Saraki) yesterday. And as a Christian, I said I had already forgiven him (Melaye) for even with the way I was treated. But the point is that what people don’t realise is that I am a very reserved person.
“After I gave my word to him (Saraki) yesterday, I told myself that at 55 I am not a wimp of anybody.
“I witnessed the Sani Abacha regime and I know what I saw and why I am committed to this cause. But now, my hands are tied to say I forgive people. I am a Christian; when I give my word, I must abide by it. But I am not scared to follow this through.
“I am not championing a cause for women. I am only standing in my space and if my space is encroached upon, I have to fight back. Rosa Parks wasn’t an activist; she just decided to sit in her space and not give up her space anybody in a bus. And that sent a message.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank all the Nigerian women who rose up; the women rights groups who are calling, conducting press conferences and doing a lot of things.”
Many women groups have since the incident taken to the streets, demanding justice for the Senator, who representsLagos central senatorial district.
But despite the protests against him, Melaye, has insisted he does not owe Senator Tinubu any apology, and accused her of paying the women protesters N75 million for their action.

Ur points have been driven home loud and clear
Remi not a whimp
Dino not a chicken

ReplyDeleteSome people be makin Dino feel like a "Big Boi"
If only na better,sensible woman Dino insulted,I for one,would have liked it,but u,Remi,As a lady can't first throw insult at a man(or even a woman)and when he hits u below the belt,u turn around and scream "Ogbu o mu o!"
Sorry Ma,but the two of u na one and one pence.
Trans:
Ogbu o mu o! Means this man has killed me o!
Lmao
DeleteJust imagine Patience ( Su Su) shouting ogbu o mu o in a movie, everybody will just lock their doors and windows.
What am I seeing? Uye General has upgraded her English lesson notes. Wow. Spaced, well punctuated sentences. Thumbs up
DeleteDino is teamSaraki while Mrs Remi is antiSaraki, and Dino has been targeting her unfortunately she fell into his trap. Dino na agbero Senate. Morrow you will see them hug and laugh, their way.
Delete@ Pipi, Hahahhaha see me playing it in my mind's eye.
Delete@Mao,nah! These two won't hug and laugh.
Politically and socially,there are Plenty factors why they won't.
Dino tampered with Madam's pride. And she Bn who she is,won't forget. Lol
Even though Dino says he has forgotten. Forgotten and moved on. Hahahhahahahaha
I know she learnt her lessons.
Roll in the mud with pigs,u won't enjoy it but the Pigs will.And even laugh at ur discomfort sef.Lol
Eku shedding Mir
ReplyDeleteE o ni riru e Mo😂
Are they still trending??
ReplyDeleteYadayada.
ReplyDeleteNo don't forgive.
When you were calling him a mad dog you didn't think that was an insult?
You met your match
Next time choose your words wisely.
Yinmu
ReplyDeleteNice interview actually. A more decent route to take rather than the laughable protests. I like as she read the mood, and quietly limited her fight to herself and not for the generality of women.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help but notice the cheeky manner in which Abacha's regime entered. Very subtle manipulative tool they have used to buy their region back then before quickly installing the grandest level of Godfatherism and kwa....tion. This my keys eh.
Remi is a shameless she-goat.
ReplyDeleteSee this woman wrapper with Johnny bravo shape calling someone old enough to be his mother a she-goat. You're just a crass buffoon.
DeleteHowever, Madam Remi needs to let this matter go. Dino is stubborn, he won't back down either..... the case is dragging on for an unnecessarily long period stirring up annoying emotions. It haff dooo!

ReplyDeletePeople like dino would never apologise he is a male chauvanist
ReplyDeleteWhy would he apologize? He deserves an apology too
DeleteHMmmm,dis two enough.
ReplyDelete*Rolling my eyes* mtsheeeew! Abeg they should all swerve jare...
ReplyDeleteWon pon je be la ki sa! The matter should just die already! Getting irritated already!!!
Both of the them should go find something meaningful doinng instead disturbing my ears and eyes with this overflogged story/issue! Mtsheeeeeew!
If u'r a Christian as u claim and have forgiven him then let the issue rest!
Make we hear word boh!
*Chewing bitter kola*
Mama sorry but e don do na.
ReplyDeleteMtcheew
ReplyDeleteOh please. "Solidarity visit"? Who die? Who sick? Nonsense.

ReplyDeleteSisi eko don't mind the mouthed and rude woman,same Senate president she openly embarrassed? Nooo she should even apologise to people from her domestic workers at home,friends, later apologise to Dino and her husband who she disrespect by insulting another able man.
ReplyDeleteThey should just settle once and for all, they are both matured.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I can't see things now! This Remi of a woman is the husband while buoda Lamidi is the wife!
ReplyDeleteHow can she respects other people's husband while she doesn't respect hers. She is a Christian while her 'wife'(husband) is a Muslim.Rubbish their house is in disarray! These types are governing us! O mase o!
Peace is all Nigeria needs now. Too much drama and chaos already
ReplyDeletePeace is all Nigeria needs now. Too much drama and chaos already
ReplyDeleteShe should let us rest jor. After paying jobless women from lagos to come to abuja and protest. Rubbish. Not supporting Dino tho but this woman is beginning to piss me off
ReplyDeleteEnd time crocodile tears
ReplyDeleteAll these Senators are Jokers who dont have any business being in the Senate or dont even know what being in a countrys Senate is all about. A female evangelist was murdered right there under their noses in Abuja and NOTHING was said about it. How many women and girl-child causes has Remi Tinubu sponsored as a Senator?. Now she's writing letters upandan because one equally mannerless agbero tout Senator upset her by attacking her! And she's now referring to her being a woman as her defence! Shior

ReplyDeleteRemi met her match in Dino. She is uncouth just like Dino. They suit each other. This matter should be settled within the House. We don't have business knowing how they fight.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when you have touts as leaders. See how they are bickering like kids.
I beg make this two people go an gbenshe themselves make we hear word, all this their corner corner love no be am at all.
ReplyDeleteInsolent Madam go & sit down joor!
