Senator  Oluremi Tinubu, winner of February 23 Lagos Central senatorial district election, for a third term, has vowed to become the deputy Senate President some day.

She made this known at an interactive session with newsmen in her home, recently.

“One thing is this, a woman can aspire to become anything. Somebody asked if I would like to run for governorship, someday, and I replied ‘yes, by next year.

“We’ve been governor before, when my husband was governor I also was the first lady of the state, so, this is my third term as a senator. So, who said I cannot aspire to become senate president? I don’t  want to be senate president but I have always wanted to become the deputy senate president because I have a lot of responsibility that I want to carry out.”  She added that, as a woman, “I have to always balance my life. This tells us that a woman can be married and always have a job, so, my home constituency has a lot of weight.  That is why I am not pushing too much.”
