Wife of the President Oluremi Tinubu has condemned in very strong terms the abduction of nearly 300 students in Kaduna state and called on state governors and lawmakers to prescribe capital punishment for kidnapping.
Speaking at an event to mark this year’s International Women’s Day she lamented the abduction of children and women whom she says are the future of the country.
I call on the state governments that once we take hold of them, they deserve capital punishment. Why can’t they take men of their size, why are they touching women and children,” Remi Tinubu according to a Friday statement by her Media aide Busola Kukoyi.
““What they are doing is that they are trying to kill our future, we all know that when parents are old, we rely on our children, we see them as our investments that have not gone to waste especially when they are successful.
“Why will you now take them from their schools? Right now, I think enough is enough. As a former lawmaker, I believe that any one of them captured deserves capital punishment.
“I believe most mothers will support me on this because we carry our children for nine months, and we cannot watch what we love to wither away,” she said.
Senator Tinubu also told the women that the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu places a strong emphasis on creating opportunities for women to thrive economically, socially, and politically.
“As women, we constitute a significant portion of our society, and it is vital that our voices are heard and our contributions acknowledged. As women leaders, your role is very crucial to our nation’s development. You are the eyes and ears of the Government at the grassroots.
