Tinubu plans anti-Melaye protests in Abuja, splashes N75 million on Kemi Nelson, others

Senator Remi Tinubu & Senator Dino Melaye

A civil rights movement, Committee for the Defence of Women’s Rights, has

uncovered a plan by the wife of a former governor of Lagos State and
chairman, Senate Committee on Women Affairs, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu to
sponsor a protest against Senator Dino Melaye this coming Wednesday in
Abuja.

The organisation said she has released N75 million to Lagos State APC
Woman Leader, Mrs. Kemi Nelson through one of her sisters simply
identified as Funlola.

The National President of CDWR, Prof. Taibat Majekodunmi, made the
revelation in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.

Already, the protesters have stormed Abuja and have booked for 300 rooms
in many Hotels in hotels in Abuja.

She said, “We have it on good authority that N75 million has been released
by Senator Oluremi Tinubu to Mrs. Kemi Nelson through Mrs. Tinubu’s sister
called Funlola. The money is to organise a protest in Abuja on Wednesday
against the chairman, Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT), Dino Melaye, with 1,000 protesters from Lagos.

“The protesters have booked for 300 rooms in some in hotels in Abuja. Why
did she not organise a protest against the hardship of Nigerian women and
widows. As we speak, Alade market in Ogba area of Lagos has been destroyed
and all the women rendered shopless. Oluremi Tinubu did not organise
protest about that.

“Against the provisions of the constitution of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Kemi Nelson doubles at the State APC Women leader in Lagos
and also the zonal women leader of APC in the South West. This will show
her greediness and why the Tinubu dynasty has taken over Lagos.

“Women were killed in Kano and Abuja and Mrs. Tinubu is the chairman,
Senate Committee on Women Affairs. She did not organise protest over these
killings. Mrs. Tinubu has not protested against the skyrocketed price of
tomatoes in the market. In the same vein, kerosine is now over N200 per
litre and she didn’t organised any protest to that effect.

“Instead, she has taken advantage of the prevailing poverty in the land to
hire hungry women in the land to partake in an unproductive protest
against Dino Melaye. Women like Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Hajiya Gambosa
Sawaba, Sarah Jubril, fought for woman race without attacking any man.
Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu should emulate the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Indira
Ghandhi, Benazir Bhutto and our own dear Dora Akunyili.

“You can imagine what N75 million will do in the lives of widows and
hungry Nigerian women. We dare Mrs. Tinubu to go ahead with her planned
N75 million protest in Abuja. We will also mobilise Nigerian women against
this ostentatious display of wealth while the average Nigerian women
wallow in abject poverty.”  Source:PointBlank News
