Melaye Vs Tinubu: 5 Reasons Why Nigerian Women Should Not Support Sen. Tinubu

[abujagirl]

Senator Oluremi Tinubu has recently been in the news because of her clash with Senator Dino Melaye, a Kogi-born lawmaker. The fight has gone wild as Senator Oluremi is a senior lawmaker and also the wife of one of Nigeria's most influential politicians, Bola Tinubu.



Some women groups have risen to her defense, while several others are ignoring the drama. There has been calls by several women groups for more women to speak up in support of Senator Tinubu. Here are 5 reasons why more women shouldn't join the fight :

1. Ese Oruru case

Senator Tinubu is chairman Senate Committee on Women Affairs but she has been silent over the case of abducted Bayelsa teenager who was abducted and raped into motherhood. Shouldn't Senator Tinubu be championing the case for the prosecution of all those involved ?

2. Gender Equality bill

In April, the Nigerian Senate rejected the proposed gender equality bill. The senators argued that the bill will give women “too much freedom” to engage in “social vices” including “lesbianism” and “prostitution”. Female Senators like Tinubu were conspicuously missing during the hearing of the bill.

3. Murder of Nigerian women by religious fanatics

This year, two Nigerian women - Mrs. Bridget Agbaheme and Mrs. Eunice Elisha were murdered by Religious fanatics in Kano state and Abuja respectively. Although the case does not directly fall under her jurisdiction, shouldn't the gender of the victims cause Senator Oluremi Tinubu to speak up ?

4. Plight of Nigerian women in IDP camps

Everyday Nigerian women are losing their children in IDP camps to hunger and sickness. As chairman Senate Committee on Women Affairs, Tinubu is yet to comment on the crisis. She's yet to visit a single IDP camp.

5. Her husband can fight her battle

Bola Tinubu removed an incumbent President, he can squash Senator Melaye if need be. Senator Tinubu needs a seasoned fighter if she must win this battle against Senator Melaye . Who wages a more successful warfare than Bola Tinubu ?

------------------

Other than the wrappers and food items distributed during elections, Tinubu has done nothing for Nigerian women. She most certainly does not deserve their support.

Maybe you could share some reasons why the should support her

Well, for starters am not a fan of Sen. Tinubu, if you don't want to be dragged on the floor don't fall. I think we are all forgetting the fact that Dino was allegedly in the habit of threatening fellow lawmakers whenever he is on th floor, that was what led TINIBU to insult Dino.
Dino on the other hand should have been JEGA and allow Tinubu to be ORUBEBE.
There are a million ways he could have insulted Tinubu without actually talking to her directly, and talking to her husband is the best way to start, literally telling her, her husband is his match.
In this case if one is fund of threatening others even when there is zero reasons for such threat, people sometimes push back, and if care is not taken, one becomes a walking validation of the Thug and other names she used on him. The guy allegedly went to Lagos for God's sake!
