Jonathan & the Chibok girls
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos Central Senatorial District has criticised the Federal government's way of handling the release of the missing Chibok school girls who were abducted by Boko Haram on April 14.
Speaking on Sunday, June 8 during a news conference in Lagos, the senator said the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration was handling the situation poorly, adding that they were not doing anything meaningful to bring back the girls.
She lambasted Jonathan for attending a campaign in Ekiti for Ayo Fayose, the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the 21 June election rather than finding a lasting solution to the challenges facing the nation.
She also expressed worry over the high level of insecurity in the country.
In her speech titled, ‘Making A Mark: Three Years Of People-Focused Representation’, she gave account of her three years in office, highlighting the benefits that have accrued to her constituency and Lagos State in general as well as her developmental initiatives at the constituency level.
According to her, the PDP caucus in the Senate frustrates opposition party members’ bills.
The senator said, "Activities in the Senate are very depressing. A lot of things that are supposed to be in the front burner are not taken into consideration. I don’t think the Senate is a place I will want to go back to except the APC takes over the mantle of leadership.
"Shekarau that cannot win election has been nominated as minister, Fayose and Omisore were picked as governorship candidates in Ekiti and Osun states respectively. In all of this, I wonder what is our sin. God should forgive us. Human life has no meaning in Nigeria. Innocent people are being killed every day.
She therefore called on Nigerians to wake up and vote wisely come 2015.
