The Senate yesterday accused Senator Oluremi Tinubu (Lagos Central) of gross misconduct and breach of privileges over the reports credited to her in some national dailies where she accused leaders of the Senate of providing uninspiring leadership and always pandering to the whims and caprices of the executive.
Consequently, the parliament ordered the senator who was absent from yesterday's plenary to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics to explain the reason she made the perceived "reckless" comment and why disciplinary action should not be taken against her. The committee has two weeks to conclude the assignment and report back to the Senate.
In one of the publications, the senator who is the wife of a former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, was quoted to have said that given the poor and sentimental leadership being provided in the Senate, she would not return to the parliament in 2015 unless the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) secures majority status which she said could earn the party the opportunity to attain the leadership of the Senate.
