Remi Tinubu is from Delta, says Odinkalu | Nairalaw

A former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof.
Chidi Odinkalu, has said Senator Oluremi Tinubu hails from Delta
State, describing her as “a beneficiary of Nigeria’s
integration.”

Odinkalu said this on Twitter while responding to a trending
video showing the wife of the ruling All Progressives Congress
National Leader accusing Igbo of not voting for President Muhammadu
Buhari during the February 23 presidential and National Assembly
elections.

The activist expressed surprise that the senator representing
Lagos Central at the Senate could “sink this low.”

Odinkalu had tweeted:

Senator Remi Tinubu from Delta State, a
beneficiary of #Nigeria‘s integration if there’s 1, sinks
this low?! https://t.co/GcNmFsqQiq^[1][2]

In a video which has since gone viral, Mrs. Tinubu, who is the
wife of APC stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is seen bantering with a
physically challenged Igbo man, accusing his tribe of failing the
APC.

The video has caused an uproar on social media, garnering
thousands of retweets and comments within hours.

The incident comes amid allegations that the APC sponsored
violence within communities dominated by Igbo in a bid to prevent
them from voting for the Peoples Democratic Party.

Of the 20 local government areas in Lagos State, five are said
to have high Igbo voting population.

The LGs are: Surulere, Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Ojo, Amuwo Odofin and
Oshodi/Isolo.
