The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has spoken about her long political career and achievements, describing herself as a “silent worker” who prefers impact over self-promotion.
Speaking in a recent engagement, she said she had initially intended not to address the issue at hand but chose to respond when placed on the spot, using the opportunity to reflect on her legislative experience.
“I was going to address it but now that you’re putting me on the spot, I have run elections, I am the first woman to be in the Senate three times. I don’t sing my own praise, but I am a silent worker,” she said.
Her remarks referenced her time in the Nigerian Senate, where she represented Lagos Central Senatorial District for multiple terms, contributing to legislative discussions on social development, women empowerment, and constituency projects.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife has remained an active figure in public service and advocacy, particularly through initiatives focused on education, health, and support for vulnerable groups across the country.
Her comments have since generated reactions online, with supporters praising her for highlighting her legislative experience and long-standing service, while critics debated the broader role of political figures in communicating their achievements to the public.
Analysts note that the statement reflects ongoing conversations about political visibility, gender representation, and public accountability in Nigeria’s democratic space.
