Re-elect my husband, I want to enjoy Nigeria at old age – Remi Tinubu

     

The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has appealed to voters in the South-East to support the re-election of her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the 2027 presidential election.

The First Lady said she wanted to enjoy a better Nigeria in her old age, adding that both she and the President were working to improve the country.

Mrs Tinubu made the appeal on Wednesday in Owerri, Imo State capital, during her official visit to the South-East to empower women.

“Make una vote for Mr President, we go work for una and Nigeria go better.

“I want to enjoy Nigeria at old age, so I will work for Nigeria, for my old age,” she said.

 

The First Lady said the empowerment programme was being implemented through the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, and would benefit 18,500 women across the country when completed.

She said 500 women from each of the five South-East states would receive various items, including generators, industrial grinding machines, gas cylinders and ovens, to support their businesses.

However, she disclosed that Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, had provided additional empowerment items for 2,000 women in the state, bringing the total number of beneficiaries in Imo to 2,500.
