Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has been honoured with the traditional title of “Jagaban Matan Zamfara” by the Zamfara State Council of Emirs.
The title was conferred on her on Friday during her visit to the state, where she attended the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West Women’s Mega Rally and Empowerment Programme held in Gusau.
Busola Kukoyi, Special Assistant on Media to the First Lady, announced the honour in a statement released on Friday. The statement described Senator Tinubu as “Jagaban Matan Zamfara” and noted that the Zamfara State Council of Emirs bestowed the title when she paid them a visit on the sidelines of the APC women’s rally.
The Gusau event formed part of the APC’s ongoing efforts to mobilise women support in the North-West ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the party works to strengthen backing for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid. The First Lady’s trip also continued a series of women-focused outreach activities by the party in the region.Earlier in the week, the APC’s women mobilisation directorate had conducted similar engagements in markets, hospitals and communities across Jigawa State.
Traditional titles are commonly given by traditional rulers to visiting political figures and public personalities as a mark of recognition. The statement did not provide additional reasons for the council’s decision to honour the First Lady.The conferment comes shortly after President Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, was turbaned as Dan Zaki Gwandu by the Emir of Gwandu in Kebbi State on Wednesday, November 11.
