Who says I can’t
aspire to be senate president – Tinubu’s wife
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, winner of last Saturday’s Lagos
Central senatorial district election, for a third term, has said that based on
her experience as a first lady of Lagos state as well her previous two tenures as
a senator, who said she couldn’t aspire to be the president of Lagos.
She made this known yesterday at an interactive session with
newsmen in her home.
She said: “We’ve been governor before. When my husband was
governor I also was the first lady of the state, so, this is my third term as a
senator.
“So, who said I cannot aspire to become senate president? I
don’t want to be senate president but I have always wanted to become the deputy
senate president because I have a lot of responsibility that I want to carry
out.”
She added that, as a woman, “I have to always balance my
life. This tells us that a woman can be married and always have a job, so, my
home constituency has a lot of weight. That is why I am not pushing too much.”
