Tinubu To PDP Senators: Majority Is In Your Dreams, You Can Never Be (Video)

Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Tuesday took a swipe at opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party Senators as she asked them to stop daydreaming of becoming majoring in the Senate.

Tinubu made the statement in protest to the decision of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, when he asked her to second the adoption of votes and proceedings of Tuesday 10 July moved by a member of the minority PDP, presiding officer.

She accused Ekweremadu of favoritism.

Excerpt:

“With due respect Mr. President, can you give me a minute? Why would I second a minority for crying out loud?” she asked.

“I am not a minority,” a PDP senator fired back.

She continued: “We are majority, you ought to choose a majority before moving the motion and with all due respect to the Senate President, I have been here before you. All of you that are sitting, you can see that the ranking senator, permit me, all of you that are even revolting are just rookie senators.

“Excuse me. This time, I would do it because I don’t want to waste much time, I would it because you chose Senator Gilbert Nnaji. Nnaji used to be my colleague in the seventh senate but if you had taken some of these new ones that came, I don’t think I would have done it.

“Because you ought to learn order of precedence. They call it order of precedence. You have to learn order of precedence. You are not yet a majority and you can never be a majority. Mr. President is just doing favouritism which shouldn’t be that.

“But I would do t because it is Senator Nnaji happens to be my neighbor and also a well-respected colleague, i will do it for you but not for the new ones. Thank God you chose well.

“Anyway, having registered my protest, I rise to support the motion ably moved by my colleague that the votes and proceedings of Tuesday be adopted.”
