Senator Oluremi Tinubu, wife of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, has said that Ndigbo are very nice set of people worthy of partnering with in all it’s ramifications.
Mrs. Tinubu, whose husband is seeking reelection in January 2027, said this on Thursday at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, Anambra State in Southeast Nigeria during her one-day official visit to the state.
It was shortly after she was conferred with a Chieftaincy title of “Ugoeze Anambra” (Royal Eagle), by the state council of traditional rules led by its Chairman, Igwe Chidubem Iweka III of Obosi Kingdom.
According to the Nigerian First Lady, she was moved by the warm reception accorded her by Anambra people and disclosed that she would come back to the state to show her appreciation in due course.
Mrs. Tinubu, who had earlier commissioned a Technological Centre at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko in Orumba South Local Government Area of the state, described Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration as great, claiming that he has done so much so that he has become the talk of the country in terms of his quality leadership.
She also lauded Soludo’s wife, Nonye for empowering as much as 5,000 indigents in the state, adding that she would give N100,000 to each of the beneficiaries to augment Mrs. Soludo’s empowerment scheme.
“I didn’t come here for campaign but as a Nigerian. I will come back in due course because Ndigbo are very nice people and trustworthy,” Senator Tinubu said.
She added that she was in Anambra State and other states in the South-East not for political campaigns but as a Nigerian, stressing that she would return to the region for campaign when the time comes.
She noted that the visit was aimed at fostering unity among Nigerians and supporting citizens, notwthstanding their political affiliations or geographical locations.
“I am not in the state for political campaign but as a united country, men and women, the citizens must be their brothers’ keepers wherever they are,” The Nigerian First Lady said.
