Contrary to media report of a truce, the cold war between
the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Governor of Ondo State,
Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN reverberated at the annual
Colloquium organized in honour of Tinubu in Lagos on
Monday.
The wife of the APC Leader, Oluremi Tinubu, could not hide
her disgust for the Ondo Governor as she ordered the latter
out of the front roll of dignitaries billed to take photograph
with her husband.
Several eyewitnesses at the event informed Sahara
Reporters that Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, herself a serving
Senator upon sighting Mr. Akeredolu at the front roll
spontaneously snapped violently against the Ondo Governor
and ordered him out of the front roll.
Sources said that it took the intervention of the celebrant,
Tinubu, and the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akinolu before Mrs.
Tinubu could be pacified.
But inspite of the intervention, the Ondo Governor was
nevertheless implored to move a bit to the back to
‘completely douse tension.’
Others at the front included the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, the Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, the
representative of President Buhari and Minister of Interiors,
Abdulrahman Dambasau.
Mrs. Tinubu is reputed to be hostile and rude to friends and
associates of her husband she does not agree with.
She has also at several occasions physically assaulted
fellow legislators, the latest being Senator Dino Melaye and
the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
