Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of All Progressives Congress national leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu has accused the APC-led federal government of not bringing forth the change promised to Nigerians during the last general election.
Remi Tinubu took the floor at the plenary session of the 8th National Assembly on Tuesday, January 26 to register her dissatisfaction while alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari also sidelined women in the 2016 budget.
