Remi Tinubu, Nigeria’s first lady, says she hopes to leave the presidential villa in 2031 to a Nigeria she can enjoy in her 70s.
She spoke on Friday at the inauguration of the Abuja
headquarters of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a grassroots mobilisation group
campaigning for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
“I want to leave Aso Rock, in 2031, by the grace of God, and
enter a Nigeria that me as a 70-something-year-old woman will enjoy,” she said.
The first lady cited “improvements at Nigerian airports” as
evidence of progress, saying she wants to be able to travel quickly.
“I want to get to the airport. I want to travel, you know,
so quickly. And you can see our airports too are changing,” she said.
She stated that Nigeria is making progress, adding that
those who fail to recognise the changes could be given what she called “Bola
Tinubu eyeglasses”.
“So things are happening in Nigeria, except, you know, those
who don’t see; maybe we’ll give them some, you know, Bola Tinubu eyeglasses. We
are doing that, JigiBola,” she said.
Remi subsequently commissioned the movement’s Abuja
headquarters and expressed support for her husband’s re-election bid.
“So to the glory of God, and for the victory of Mr President
come 2027, I hereby formally commission the PBAT door-to-door movement campaign
headquarters Abuja,” she said.
She concluded her remarks by expressing support for the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the convener of the movement, Government
Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.
