 CITING mischief, Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has faulted the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP's) call for the recall of Senator Oluremi Tinubu for describing herself as a rookie in the Upper Chambers.

In a statement in Lagos, ACN Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, said with each passing day, its futile desire to add Lagos to its vassal, despoiled territory, the state PDP continues to degenerate into a band of irredeemable jesters who must open its mouth on any issue.

"For the information of a few that still consume Lagos PDP's idiocy, we deem it fit to recap Senator Tinubu's response to The Guardian reporter's question that is generating Lagos PDP's latest ranting.

Guardian: "Why are opposition senators always desirous of getting juicy committee positions in the Senate instead of remaining in the opposition?"

Senator Tinubu: "If I wanted juicy committee, I wouldn't be in the Labour, employment and productive committee. I can only speak for myself. I have been a rookie in the Senate and I don't know about the juiciness of the committees until I learn."

"The above is all the Lagos PDP needed to call for the recall of the senator. We wonder why Lagos PDP, in its celebrated emptiness, feels that sounding so bland and stupid on issues it cannot grapple is the best way of fighting a battle for the souls of sophisticated people of Lagos. We dare ask, must the Lagos PDP open its mouth and embarrass itself, as in the present case, just because it wants to keep appearance and get noticed? Must Lagos PDP continue to demonstrate its emptiness just because it wants to present the façade of a non-existing opposition in Lagos?

"Now because Senator Oluremi Tinubu made an honest admission as a well brought up child and as a first-time comer in the Senate that she is still learning the art of lawmaking in the Senate, Lagos PDP went to town to ask for her recall because she does not understand the operations of the Senate. This is a clear evidence that PDP Lagos continues to be deficit in honour, deficit in character, deficit in integrity, deficit in common sense and deficit in knowledge.

"Come to think of it, if Senator Oluremi Tinubu is to be recalled from the Senate, who are those that would recall her? Are they PDP members of her Lagos Senatorial District or PDP members in Lagos State? Are the PDP members the ones that put her in the Senate? The job of recalling our own Senator Tinubu is for ACN members, Lagos Central Senatorial District. Maybe PDP members in Lagos, in their emptiness, do not know this".
