Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has got Nigerians talking after claiming that she begged the wife of her husband’s running mate, Hajia Nana Shettima, for N2 million on Wednesday.
Senator Tinubu, who represents Lagos Central in the Senate, said this to counter the widely-held belief that her husband is stupendously wealthy.
“When they say he has the money of the world, I just wonder. Mrs Shettima knows that I begged her just to give me N2m yesterday,” she said at a town hall meeting with People Living With Disabilities in Abuja on Thursday.
However, many Nigerians took to Twitter to react to the remark.
