Senator Oluremi Tinubu who is the wife of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, challenged Saraki for placing Senator Andy Uba higher than her during the adoption of votes and proceedings of Wednesday.
She raised the issue when Saraki asked her to second the motion by Senator Andy Uba, PDP, Anambra South. Saraki had at the commencement of yesterday's sitting asked Senator Uba to move the motion for the adoption of votes and proceedings in consonance with the tradition of the Senate.
