The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON has said that women will play a pivotal role in nursing Nigeria back to health. 

Oluremi Tinubu was speaking after a closed door meeting with wives of former governors that served under the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State House, Abuja.

These were contained in a statement by the SA Media to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mrs Busola Kukoyi.

The First Lady, she said, noted that the visit was to get the support of the wives of the former governors for the various programs of Government and the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI, in particular. 

Senator Oluremi Tinubu said that the former first ladies will be partnering with the various incumbents in their states in this regard.

“I will also be bringing on board wives of various religious leaders and traditional rulers, the traditional rulers have already visited the President so we can all find ways to ameliorate the effects of the new policies of the government and make things better for all of us.

“These women are all mothers of the nation in their own spaces, states. It is a familiar terrain and since I cannot be everywhere at the same time, I need them to partner with me on this and help nurse the nation back to health," she said.

She pointed out that this will not encroach on the activities of the wives of the incumbent Governors, but will glean help from the former governors' wives.

The First Lady then thanked the women for their support during the electioneering period which culminated in the victory of the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and others. 

She emphasized that this is the time to work for the actualization of all that were promised during the elections and much more, hence “this Strategic meeting."

Speaking on behalf of the wives of the former governors, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, wife of the former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, promised that they would all be working with Senator Oluremi Tinubu and wives of the Governors of their various states to actualize the goals and aspirations of the Federal Government.

She expressed the appreciation of the wives of the former governors, saying that the meeting, as engineered by the First Lady, is a recognition of the formidable role played by women during elections and the quantum of what they can contribute to nation building, especially as very little could be achieved without bringing women on board.

Also at the meeting were the wife of the Vice President, Her Excellency, Hajia Nana Shettima, wife of the Senate President, Her Excellency, Ekaette Unoma Akpabio and wives of 13 former governors.
