Remi Tinubu, the wife of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has said that her dream is to become the deputy Senate President some day. Remi Tinubu won the February 23 Lagos Central senatorial district election, for a third term made this known at an interactive session with newsmen in her home, recently.
“One thing is this, a woman can aspire to become anything. Somebody asked if I would like to run for governorship, someday, and I replied ‘yes, by next year. 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.”
