Senator Remi Tinubu is rallying APC first ladies’ support for her husband Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition in the 2023 general elections.

“I stand before you today to seek your support for my husband in his quest to consolidate the many achievements recorded by our father, President Muhammadu Buhari and deliver on the promises of good governance,” said Mrs Tinubu on Sunday during a strategic meeting with Nigeria’s first lady Aisha Buhari, Nana Shettima and the wives of APC governors. 

The meeting was held at the State House in Abuja.

“As you know, the party’s primary election was keenly contested, and I want to use this opportunity to thank all of you who stood with us and gave us all the support on that very long night,” the ex-Lagos first lady noted. “At the end of the free, fair and completely transparent process, we emerged victorious, and now we have before us the difficult task of running a nationwide campaign and securing victory at the polls.”

She urged the first lady and the APC women to ensure that the party wins the 2023 presidential election.

“This is a journey that I cannot embark on alone, and I ask that you support me and my sister, Excellency Nana Shettima, with that very spirit of oneness that has made APC first ladies the envy of everyone else,” said Mrs Tinubu. “It is common knowledge that in the APC, our first ladies work as one, and this cohesion is something that is admired by many. As governor, my husband stopped at nothing to empower women.”
