Tinubu Opposes Wife’s New Political Ambitions 

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu seems to be opposing the new political ambitions of Senator Oluremi Tinubu, lawmaker representing Lagos Central Senatorial District.

Naija News understands that Bola Tinubu seems not to be in support of Oluremi Tinubu‘s ambition to become the Deputy Senate President in the 9th National Assembly.

While speaking on the latest development, our source, an elected member of the House of Representatives, said Tinubu was leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that what happened in June 2015 when the National Assembly elected their leaders did not repeat itself.

“Yes, the desire of Senator Oluremi Tinubu for the Deputy Senate President position is real, given her experience as a ranking female lawmaker, but it is also clashing with the desire of her husband to ensure Lagos State produces the speaker of the House of Representatives.

“It is likely that the APC will zone the speakership position to the South-West as they did in 2015, and our preferred candidate is Femi Gbajabiamila, the current Majority Leader.

“Asiwaju (Tinubu) is not really keen about his wife becoming the Deputy Senate President as this may jeopardise his desire to have Gbajabiamila occupy the position of speaker.”

“He is more interested in Lagos producing the speaker. As it stands, Remi Tinubu’s ambition to become Deputy Senate President is not feasible,” the party chieftain said.
