I Am Not Afraid Of Death – Remi Tinubu

CAN Youth Wing Calls For Immediate Arrest, Prosecution Of Cleric For Hate Speech Targeting Oluremi Tinubu

First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has said that she is too old to be afraid of death.

The senator stated this during the commissioning of an Alternative High School and ICT centre in Bauchi.

Speaking at the palace of the Emir of Bauchi, Dr Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu, the president’s wife, noted that if God has successfully granted her 60 years on earth, then she has no reason to be afraid of death.

Her visit comes days after a cleric, Sunusi Abubakar, issued death threat against the President’s wife.

Speaking at the palace, the First Lady said, “I want to thank His Excellency for assuring me that I am safe but what I said is that I am too old to be afraid.

“If God has granted me 60 years, I think I shouldn’t be afraid of death but I thank God I had the courage to come. Nigeria belongs to all of us and this is the time to unite more than ever before.

“Nigeria needs prayers and we believe that God will answer our prayers. I am here today to perform official duty and also pay my Royal respect to His Royal Highness the Emir of Bauchi and to thank him for the warm reception we received today which is a great honour to me and I truly appreciate that.”

‘If You Talk Too Much, Your Body Go Tell You’ – Shehu Sani Reacts To Ningi’s Suspension

'If You Talk Too Much, Your Body Go Tell You' - Shehu Sani Reacts To Ningi's Suspension

Senator Shehu Sani has disclosed the potential consequences facing Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi following his three-month suspension by the Senate.

Naija News earlier reported that Ningi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was suspended during Tuesday’s plenary over allegations of padding the 2024 budget by the Senate.

The lawmakers’ decision to suspend him followed discussions regarding the Bauchi lawmaker’s accusation that around N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget was not allocated to any specific projects.

In response, Sani, in a post on his official X handle, mentioned that the suspended lawmaker would be deprived of access to his office and would not receive any form of remuneration until the suspension is lifted.

The former lawmaker lamented that such a severe punishment had kept even lawmakers from the opposition parties silent on important issues.

The post reads, “Suspension in the Senate means a Senator will not be allowed to attend the plenary and will be prohibited from attending committee meetings and participating in oversight functions. His Salary, allowances and all entitlements will be blocked.

“He will not have access to his office and he is expected not to be seen within the premises of the National Assembly until the Suspension is lifted.

“When I publicly disclosed the salaries and running costs of lawmakers, it was the then-Senate president who saved me from suspension. If you talk too much, your body go tell you, that is why even opposition no fit oppose too much”.

Despite constitutional equality, Sani emphasized the unequal treatment among Senators within the Senate, noting that some hold more power than others, with expectations for all Senators to comply.

“Constitutionally, all Senators are equal. But in the Senate, all Senators are not equal; Some are more equal than others. All Senators knows this and every Senator is expected to obey. And the law is ‘no be everything eye see mouth fit talk am,‘” Sani added.
