Remi Tinubu Senator representing Lagos Central was involved in a squabble on Wednesday with some Nigerians who were present at the zonal public hearing of the constitutional review in Lagos State.
In a video trending on social media, the senator was spotted addressing a woman as a thug, which resulted in an altercation with other Nigerians at the scene.
According to a report, members of the public were made to go through a registration process before entering into the venue.
However, upon the arrival of the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the front door was shut and registration ended.
Members of the public who were yet to register remained on the queue in protest of their exclusion from the event while some lawmakers were ushered into the venue by Tinubu.
The woman, therefore, complained about the partial treatment meted out to the public and was called a thug by the senator for speaking too loudly.
“We don’t want thugs here,” she said.
Those present at the scene expressed displeasure at the senator’s conduct, which resulted in a commotion. The senator, however, refused to tender an apology.
