Given the week she’s had, Senator Oluremi Tinubu was due a pacifier. And so did a clutch of senators who’ve been anti-Bukola Saraki since the election that threw up the former Kwara governor into the number three role in Nigeria’s power structure.
Today’s reshuffling of senate committee heads was all of that and more.
Kabiru Marafa is an ardent critic of the senate president. For his troubles, he’s been appointed chairman of the Petroleum (downstream) Committee. He was hitherto chairman of the Committee on National Population.
Oluremi Tinubu now heads the environment committee from overseeing the committee on women affairs.
Suleiman Hunkuyi, another critic of the senate president, is now in charge of the Committee on National Identity.
