Remi Tinubu, the senator representing Lagos central, on Tuesday, slammed Smart Adeyemi, her All Progressives Congress (APC) colleague from Kogi west, over his comment on Nigeria’s security challenges.
The lawmaker wept openly over the sustained devastation and wreck by terrorists across the nation.
While contributing to the motion sponsored by Senator Sani Musa, stating that Boko Haram terrorists have taken over three Local Governments in Niger State, Adeyemi admitted that security system has collapsed and innocent citizens are the receiving end.
“This is the worst instability we are facing. In fact this is worse than the civil war,” he said.
But Tinubu interrupted him, asking: “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 that 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.”
