Remi Tinubu – A Beautiful Matriarch
For me this is my mummy and anytime she speaks I listen. She is tall and elegant and the other day, when MC Malaye looked for her trouble I supported her. She remains an enigma in my eyes and the main barometer for Asiwaju’s thinking. The things that Asiwaju will not say you can gauge it from mummy. So in a recent interview she told us of how Asiwaju was sidelined immediately after the election that ushered in Buhari. I tell you, it must have been a very low time for Asiwaju where even ‘’small’’ boys like Kachikwu tried him. Saraki also dealt a blow by snatching the Senate Presidency and refused to relinquish despite all efforts to get him to step down. Activities stopped in the other room at Bourdilon and mummy had to suffer for Nigeria. She now concentrated on calming his nerves, putting his head on her chest and begging him to calm down. I can just imagine how she will be saying in that her lovely voice, ‘’ma pa re o fun awon oloshi o’’ for those of us who do not understand Yoruba it means Nigerians love you, don’t worry. And Asiwaju will just be rolling up and down in bed and will be screaming intermittently – aghhh Saraki !!!!!, aghhhhh Oyegun !!!!!! aghhhh Fashola !!!!!!!. Emi, Ekun, emi Jagaban. And then mummy will just be begging. You know how they do it in those Yoruba movies. ‘’Oko mi, jo wa jeun’’. She would have put amala and ewedu on the table and he would walk past it stomping around the room. We thank God that we have passed that phase and we have been given an appointment to reconcile everybody including the very important task of demobilising the bulldozers. So mummy now came out to tell us how he was disparaged those times and how she herself did not want to offend her God ‘’for this man’’. Well, the best thing that can happen to any man even the Jagaban is a good woman. Mummy is a good woman. God bless you ma.
