Wife of the All Progressives
Congress National Leader, Mrs. Remi Tinubu, has already cast her votes in the
governorship and state Assembly elections at Polling Unit 034, Falomo Police
Barracks IV, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Shortly after casting her votes
at the polling unit located directly in front of her Bourdillon residence, Mrs.
Tinubu was besieged by a crowd of people waiting on her.
Addressing the crowd of people
who were making monetary requests from her, she said, “Show me your hand, get
the money.”
Mrs. Tinubu, who was addressing
the crowd in a mixture of pidgin English, Yoruba and Itsekiri languages,
however, said she was not into vote-buying.
She urged the people to go to the
polling booth and cast their votes.
Speaking specifically to an Igbo
man, Charles Nnamani, in pidgin, Mrs. Tinubu complained that the Igbo in Lagos
did not vote for President Muhammadu Buhari during the presidential election.
But Nnamani, who is
physically-challenged, told her that he voted for Buhari.
Responding, Mrs. Tinubu said,
“How will I know? You Igbo, we don’t trust you anymore.”
Among the crowd was an Itsekiri
woman and her children who told the former Lagos State First Lady in her
dialect that she came with her children because she heard that money was being
shared.
Earlier, while speaking with
journalists, Tinubu, who represents
Lagos Central at the Senate, attributed the low voter turnout at the
polling unit to her belief that the elite living in the highbrow area believed
that only the Federal Government’s policies could impact on their business
interests.
