Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Tuesday, took a swipe at her fellow Senator Smart Adeyemi over the latter’s comment on the present security challenges in the country.
Nigeria has continued to witness a spike in criminal activities, from banditry, kidnapping to insurgency and terrorism. Niger state Governor, Sani Bello, said on Monday that Boko Haram has hoisted its flag in a Shiroro LGA of the state.
While contributing to a motion on the situation on the floor of the House on Tuesday, Senator Adeyemi said the country is facing the worst instability since the civil war.
“This is the worst instability we are facing. In fact, this is worse than the civil war.”
While Senator Adeyemi was pouring his heart out on the sorry state of security in the country, Senator Tinubu abruptly asked him: “Are you in PDP (Peoples Democratic Party)? Are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Adeyemi, however, ignored her comments and continued: “We cannot pretend that we are capable of handling the situation in our hands. America, as powerful as they are, when the pandemic came, it came to a point China came to their rescue.
“We shouldn’t pretend we need foreign support now. Billions of naira has been voted for security services and nothing is coming out of it.
“I’m a party man and I’m supporting APC but it has gotten to a point that as supporters we cannot keep quiet.”
