Nigeria is sick –Remi Tinubu

…Says, “I may not go back to Senate By RAZAQ BAMIDELE The Senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District in the Senate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Oluremi Tinubu has lamented that Nigeria, as a nation, is currently sick, saying unless some proactive decisions are taken in 2015, things may totally get out of hand. Senator Tinubu, who is the wife of former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu made the assertion on Sunday at a press parley to mark her third anniversary in the Senate, stating emphatically that, “Nigerians must wake up and prepare a solid future and sound legacy for our children.” In her address entitled: “Making a mark: Three years of people-focussed representation,” the federal lawmaker, after taking a critical look at the state of the nation, declared that, “the whole thing is sickening,” regretting that the way the present leadership of the country was going, there was need for a surgical operation. Citing instances, Mrs. Tinubu criticised the calibre of ministers President Goodluck Jonathan was foisting on the nation especially from Osun and Lagos states, reasoning that “Nigerians should make wise decisions in 2015 by voting in the APC at the centre.” According to her, the need for a broader, inclusive and cohesive platform nationwide led to the formation of the APC, adding that, “since then, our collective quest for genuine change and development has continued to gather impetus across the length and breadth of Nigeria.” When asked about her 2015 ambition, the Senator disclosed that “activities in the Senate are depressing as issues are unnecessarily being manipulated,” saying, “I may not want to go back to the Senate unless I am sure the APC is going to be in the majority.” She seized the opportunity to render account of her stewardship at the Senate in the last three years, saying her social security services were in line with the manifesto of her party. the APC.
