Video: Nigerians Attack Senator Remi Tinubu For Calling Fellow Woman Thug

Remi Tinubu, the Senator representing Lagos Central and wife of the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, had on Wednesday again caused another trouble as she called a fellow woman a thug for speaking too loud at the South West Constitutional Review Public Hearing.

The event, held at Marriott Hotel in Lagos, had high profile individuals that included the Lagos State Governor, Senators and important personalities in the South West region.

At the event, residents were asked to queue to register before they were allowed entry into the hall.

It was later gathered that some of those in the queue were later informed that registration had closed for the day.

But few minutes later, some lawmakers from Oyo state passed the queue and were about to be ushered in, leading to commotion at the front entrance.

As the shouts continued near the front door, with those in the queue insisting that they had been unfairly treated, the Oyo lawmakers were about to be hurriedly ushered through the backdoor, but the people followed them, preventing them from being allowed into the hall.

However, after some consultation with the personnel at the door, Tinubu showed up at the backdoor to allow the lawmakers in.

As she was about to do this, a woman, who complained about being denied entry, decried the partial treatment and voiced out her frustration.

Seeing this, the senator beckoned on her and two others, only to call the woman a “thug” for speaking too loud.

“We don’t want thugs here,” the former Lagos State First Lady said.

The statement made by Tinubu however infuriated those in the queue, who insisted that such a derogatory word shouldn’t have come from the senator.

The senator was asked to apologise but she refused.

“I will not apologise for what I said. I saw it and I said it,” she maintained.
