There was an uproar on Twitter following the heated arguments between Senators Remi Tinubu and Elisha Abbo over the assault scandal involving the latter.
Senator Abbo had appeared before the Senate Disciplinary Committee to explain why he was seen assaulting a woman at a sex toy shop in Abuja.
However, there was an heated argument between the Senator and one of the Committee members, Remi Tinubu who insisted that the former was not ‘remorseful and not acting in the manner that would make the Senate assist him.

However, the Nigeria Twitter community went frenzy with some questioning Senator Tinubu’s ‘moral’ ground to interrogate Senator Abbo over his conduct.
Others also condemned Senator Abbo, saying he was not remorseful and displayed brazing level of arrogance while appearing before the committee.

I’ve watched a longer video of the exchange between Remi Tinubu and Elisha Abbo. I get that Abbo is “underserving” of respect and has anger problem, but Senator Tinubu was unnecessarily condescending. At a point she sounded as though she’s addressing a school kid, not colleague.

Sen.Remi Tinubu spoke carelessly & arrogantly.When Sen.Abbo tried returning fire;she reminded him that she is another woman. Is she telling us that if you are a woman you have an automatic license to behave roughly & rudely to colleagues? https://t.co/RQ0WpRMjiP

Sen.Remi Tinubu in action. Shamelessly assaulting a colleague. How different is she from Sen.Elisha Ishaku Abbo? She is morally dirty to be a member of the c’ttee investigating the freshman senator from Adamawa. pic.twitter.com/Hb7WIxkEQr

Remi Tinubu is too proud and arrogant she's been doing this often in the Senate, only God knows how she is going to be behaving if her husband fortunately became the President and she later became first lady. https://t.co/TLHqisVxGe

Remi Tinubu is being called arrogant and condescending.
Do we realise it was a disciplinary committee not an owambe??

Senator remi tinubu took her method too far in my opinion and my question is that if he was an Apc senator, would she have taken it that far?

When Senator Remi Tinubu mentioned to a senator seated beside her that Abbo’s misdemeanor could be as a result of his age, I just hissed. That was a manifestation of what the political establishment think of us, younger people – as youthfully exuberant. That was not necessary.
