Tinubu, senator representing Lagos central, on Tuesday, tackled Smart Adeyemi,
her All Progressives Congress (APC) colleague from Kogi west, over the latter’s
comments on Nigeria’s security challenges.
In recent
weeks, the country has witnessed a spike in criminal activities, from Boko
Haram insurgency to banditry and kidnapping.
Sani
Bello, Niger governor, said on Monday that Boko Haram has hoisted its flag in a
Shiroro LGA of the state.
Contributing
to a motion on the situation, Adeyemi said the country is facing the worst
instability since the civil war.
“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.”
Nigeria
recorded more than 10 security incidents on Monday as killings and attacks
continued across the country.
