Senator
Oluremi Tinubu (APC-Lagos Central) 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 the wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) was surrounded by a crowd of people waiting on her.
Speaking to
the crowd who were requesting for money from her, she said, “Show me your hand,
get the money.”
The
lawmaker, however, said she was not into vote-buying.
Speaking
specifically to an Igbo man, Charles Nnamani, in pidgin, Tinubu complained that
the Igbo in Lagos did not vote for President Muhammadu Buhari during the
presidential election.
But Nnamani
told her that he voted for Buhari.
Responding,
Tinubu said, “How will I know? You Igbo, we don’t trust you anymore.”
Speaking to
newsmen earlier, Tinubu 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.
