Nigerian Tweeps drag Remi Tinubu for calling a woman a Thug
Nigerians have taken to Twitter to drag Senator Remi Tinubu (Lagos Central, APC)for calling a woman a thug during the public hearing of the constitutional review on Wednesday.
Nigerians have taken to Twitter to drag Senator Remi Tinubu (Lagos Central, APC)for calling a woman a thug during the public hearing of the constitutional review on Wednesday.
The lawmaker, who is leading the Senate Committee on Review of the 1999 constitution in the south-west, was involved in a shouting match with some members of the public who attended the event at the Marriot Hotel in Lagos.
It was gathered that residents queued to register before they were allowed into the venue of the event.
However, when the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, came in through the back door, the front door was shut and the registration closed.
Those who were yet to register reportedly stayed in the queue, protesting their exclusion from the event.
Some lawmakers from Oyo State, who passed the queue and were about to be ushered into the program, were allegedly followed by some residents, causing a commotion.
Tinubu reportedly showed up at the backdoor to allow the lawmakers in.
But a woman spoke openly after the alleged partial treatment.
It was at this time that Tinubu called the woman a thug for speaking too loudly.
The woman protested, resulting in a commotion as Tinubu exchanges words with her.
“I will not apologize for what I said. I saw it and I said it,” Tinubu reportedly said.
The incident generated several reactions from Nigerian tweeps
The first things politicians lose when they join politics is SHAME but it’s unfortunate that Remi Tinubu not just lost shame but also her sense of humanity.
May we never experience a First Lady like her because we might end up appreciating Buhari

I'll say this again,
Remi Tinubu, the matriarch of the Lagos thug will never be a first lady in Nigeria.— Ayemojubar (@ayemojubar) May 27, 2021
Remi Tinubu is not fit for the Office of The First Lady.
– She fights a male colleagues
– She is rascal
– She hates to care for anything.She is never going to be our First Lady.

Asides the kerfuffle where her language was less than kosher, Remi Tinubu was well behaved in the #CFRN99 affair.
It have to point out that prior to the event, EVERYONE was told "3 attendees or less."
Some unions came with crowd. NULGE, that lady's union, came with at least 15!

Remi Tinubu seems to be power drunk. Sadly so. Why it's necessary for Nigerians to insist on a baseline of recognized university bachelors degree, as entry level to the National Assembly. Scant education has its obvious disadvantages and defects on comportment and governance.

With Patience Jonathan,
You have a woman who actually cared.With Aisha Buhari,
You have a woman who spoke against her own husband’s madness.With Remi Tinubu
You will have a First Lady who harass and tyrannise anyone who speaks against govt.May this disaster not hit Nigeria.

Tell me one time Remi Tinubu has ever been in the news for anything worthy? It’s either she’s fighting, blackmailing or threatening citizens. That’s Nigeria’s First Lady that never was. Agbero Senator, Fake Pastor. Gees!!!! Aunty, you are just as razz as you come.LEEMAO !!!

Patience Jonathan was compassionate. Even as she was being mocked, she remained A MOTHER. Aisha Buhari is selfish, but she is not a rascal.
Remi Tinubu has not only shown her rascality many times, she has shown her bigotry as well. Remi is not fit for the office of a First Lady.

I wonder when our future First Lady, Remi Tinubu will be in the news for the right reasons.
No class whatsoever.

E bad as e bad, I'd still prefer to call an Aisha Buhari my First Lady than a Remi Tinubu.
Madness is not entertainment.

What procedure did Redeem Christian church of Christ put in place, before making Remi Tinubu a pastor? This woman is a disgrace to the church, the body of Christ & her family at large. She has never made the news for the the right reasons. Always fighting with people. God forbid.

Remi Tinubu can never be the First Lady of Nigeria. Imagine calling a fellow woman a thug meanwhile her Husband Garnered power, monopolised businesses in Lagos and ripped transport workers & market women off their money through thuggery. We are waiting for them in 2023! Shame!

Remi Tinubu is too loud, arrogant and controversial for someone that is likely to be the next first lady.
— Premier (@SodiqTade) May 27, 2021
Remi Tinubu should learn to leave her arrogance at home.
Also abuse is not gender based. It is power based.

Funny thing on this Remi Tinubu issue is that by 2022 when the political calculations start heating up;
Many of those here joining us to call out her foolishness will backtrack to say “Our Mummy” “Mummy wa”.
I won’t be shocked.

I need to understand why y’all are already attributing the First Lady tag to Remi Tinubu. Call her name and let it end there. Which one is “supposed First Lady or incoming First Lady”
Abi una don accept Tinubu as President already???
