Asiwaju Didn’t support My Decision To Run For A Second Term - Remi Tinubu @oluremitinubu

Senator Remi Tinubu, the wife of All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said that her husband didn’t support her decision to run for a 2nd term.Mrs Tinubu represents the Lagos Central Senatorial District.
She made the comments on Tuesday, September 29, 2015, at the ongoing “Women in Government’’ conference organised by the South-West Region of the Department For International Development (DFID).

“People have been saying that I got to this position because I am Asiwaju’s wife,” Senator Tinubu said.
“What they did not realise is that in the past election, my husband asked me not to go for a second term. It was the leaders in my district that got me the form and talked to him that they wanted me to go back.
When I got the bill to run for primaries, I told my husband that I needed money and he said no money. I fought with the people in my constituency because they said I have to give them more money and I said no, what about the ones I have been giving to you before?
“If you are not going to vote, so be it. They said that they were just voting for me because of Asiwaju and I responded that Asiwaju is not even supporting me, then, you can go and vote for him. But I’m grateful they voted for me,” she added.
