Drama As Tinubu ‘takes Over’ Ekweremadu’s Seat by PsmartexLLB(m): 7:14am On Nov 20, 2015
Senators who are members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party created an hilarious scene on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday, when they stopped the member representing Lagos Central Senatorial District, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, from addressing the chamber from the seat of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu. The drama ensued when the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, asked the wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress to second a motion moved by Senator Kabiru Gaya, who was seeking the approval of the red chamber for him to submit the report of his committee on the $200m foreign loan being sought by Lagos State. Mrs. Tinubu was seated on Ekweremadu’s seat who was conspicuously absent from plenary when she was asked to second the motion. However, no sooner than she put on the microphone on the seat of the deputy senate president than the PDP senators, protested against her action, and insisted that she should relocate to her seat to speak. Attempt by Mrs. Tinubu to explain that she was on Ekweremadu’s seat because the microphone on her own seat was not working was rebuffed by the PDP senators. She left angrily for her own seat and attempted to use her dysfunctional microphone to convince the PDP senators that she was speaking the truth. Mrs. Tinubu then went to a seat close to hers, and sought the permission of her neighbour to make use of his microphone. It was after she got the permission of the senator sitting beside her that she was able to address her colleagues. She nevertheless returned to Ekweremadu’s seat and sat down there for over one hour the plenary lasted.
