Senator Oluremi Tinubu representing Lagos Central Senatorial district on Monday, urged a ministerial nominee, Babatunde Raji Fashola, to accommodate Senators’ plea for employment slots to their constituents.

The female lawmaker remarked that she hadn’t asked for employment slots in Fashola’s Works and Power Ministry in the last administration, but said all Senators should be considered this time.

“Mr. nominee, all of us here have our Constituents back home looking for employment opportunities and I want you to consider our request when you get to office.

In your last administration, I did not look for employment slots for my Constituents, but this time, we all need you to consider us.”

For over an hour, the former Lagos governor and Minister for Works, Housing and Power in the last administration, was overwhelmed with questions bordering on his Ministry in the last administration.

Senators, who asked questions, were unanimous in their concern over the collapse of road infrastructure and housing deficit across the country.

Senator Lillian Ekwunife (Anambra) lamented that Federal roads in Anambra have collapsed completely, saying that a ” journey of one hour takes four hours.”

She revealed that she was almost looking for a chopper to airlift her to a function which held at Awka, Anambra state capital, on Saturday due to heavy traffic occasioned by bad roads.

Ok

For this comment alone, this woman should cease to be a member of the Senate.

I doubt if she really understands the implications of such unguarded comments in public places.

A senator openly and officially canvassing for "connection" in employment? Wtf.

Fashola's allegiance is to your husband, not you

Wife of a rogue is also a rogue.

You are igna'ant! . You have no clue!

A Senator must vote for privileges for the people. She spoke for all constituencies when she said "we all have people back home".

A senator openly and officially canvassing for "connection" in employment and you call it legitimate and constitutional?

So what will now happen to citizens without connections? As in, officially. They should go and die?

Senator Tinubu takes care of her constituency fairly. My parents are in her constituency and i know. She knows her stuff.

Senators in other places probably favour their family members and friends with federal privilege....but not this lady.

If you want insider deal you have to go to her husband. If you want fair and balanced treatment you go to Mrs Tinubu.

Those of us in Island know this. Cut her slack abeg. She is a woman of the people....she loves her people and we love her.

A true Itsekiri daughter.
To my Itsekiri people...Waado!

What is the meaning of connection? What they legitimately own you as voters in their constituency is not connection, it's what you are entitled to and what they are supposed to do for you.

Legitimate request for jobs for the people in her constituency is what ignorant people call connection these days I guess.

You are obviously an ignorant electorate since you have no clue per why you have reps and their constitutional obligations to serve you, lobby for you and seek a better life for you. You don't know your rights

I wonder about you people sometimes..

Always personal interest. Not national considerations

Looking out for the people she represents is her personal interest?
