As a Christian I have forgiven Dino Melaye – Remi Tinubu

“I met with the Senate President Bukola Saraki on Tuesday after one week and as a Christian, I said I had already forgiven Dino for even with the way I was treated. But the point is that what people don’t realise is that I am a very reserved person. After I gave my word to him (Saraki) yesterday, I told myself that at 55 I am not a wimp of anybody. I witnessed the Sani Abacha regime and I know what I saw and why I am committed to this cause. But now, my hands are tied to say I forgive people. I am a Christian; when I give my word, I must abide by it. But I am not scared to follow this through. I am not championing a cause for women. I am only standing in my space and if my space is encroached upon, I have to fight back. Rosa Parks wasn’t an activist; she just decided to sit in her space and not give up her space anybody in a bus. And that sent a message. I want to use this opportunity to thank all the Nigerian women who rose up; the women rights groups who are calling, conducting press conferences and doing a lot of things.”‎she said
