Drama In Senate As Tinubu’s Wife, Remi ‘Takes Over’ Ekweremadu’s Seet

Lagos Central senator and wife of APC national leader, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, caused a minor drama during Wednesday’s plenary as she sat on the chair meant for the deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu.

Ike Ekweremadu who claimed to have been a victim of an assassination attempt was absent.

Tinubu stood to second a motion on the approval of the$200m loan requested by Lagos State but was immediately rebuked by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators, who asked her to vacate Ekweremadu’s seat.

She later bowed to the pressure, returned to her seat to second the motion, but came back to Ekweremadu’s seat afterwards where she continued her conversation with the majority leader, Ali Ndume, who seats next to the deputy senate president.
