The Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has slammed PDP over its call for the recall of Senator Oluremi Tinubu from the Senate.

According to a statement by the state Publicity Secretary of ACN, Joe Igbokwe, the request for her to be recalled “is wickedness simplicitta, a celebration of comprehensive emptiness and mediocrity, and a clear evidence that PDP Lagos continues to be deficit in honour, deficit in character, deficit in integrity, deficit in common sense, and deficit in knowledge.”

Igbokwe said: “on page 11 of the Guardian edition of Tuesday June 18, 2013 distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu granted an interview on 20 years of June 12, one of the questions the Guardian reporter Tunde Akintola put to her is this:

QUESTION: Why are the opposition Senators always desirous of getting juicy committee positions in the Senate instead of remaining in the opposition?

Answer: ‘If I wanted to be in the juicy committee, I would not be in the Labour, Employment and Productivity Committee. I can only speak for myself. I have been a rookie in the Senate and I do not know about juiciness of Committee until I learn.’

“Now because distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu made an honest admission as a well brought up child and as a first time comer in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that she is still learning the art of lawmaking in the Senate, Lagos PDP went to town to ask for her recall because she does not understand the operations of the Senate.

“This is wickedness simplicitta, a celebration of comprehensive emptiness and mediocrity, and a clear evidence that PDP Lagos continues to be deficit in honour, deficit in character, deficit in integrity, deficit in common sense, and deficit in knowledge. Come to think of it, if distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu is to be recalled from the Senate, who are those that would recall her? Are they PDP members of her Lagos Senatorial District or PDP members in Lagos State? Are the PDP members the ones that put her in the Senate? The job of recalling our own Senator Oluremi Tinubu is for ACN members in Lagos Central Senatorial District. May be PDP members do not know this.”

Igbokwe added: “Senator Oluremi is the wife of the leader of the opposition in Nigeria, and a former First Lady of Lagos State. She is a June 12 Activists and a leader in ACN. A distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic representing Lagos Central Senatorial District. She is the Vice Chairman Senate Committee on Labour, Employment and Productivity.

She is currently working with other Senators on a third bill aimed at providing a special economic assistance to Lagos. She is a lioness wife of the great Asiwaju of Bourdillon Ikoyi, Lagos. She is the dean of Women Affairs at the University of Bourdillon. Oluremi who knows her Senatorial District very well has just addressed the 7th Edition of her quarterly Town Hall Meeting with her constituents.
