Following her resumption at her office in Abuja, the first lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu, has garnered mixed reactions online.
On Monday, June 5, the wife of Nigeria President Bola Tinibu made her first formal appearance in the First Lady’s office.
Tijjani Umar, the State House’s permanent secretary, and other Heads of Units in the First Lady’s Office received Remi at the office.
Tinubu’s wife was given a tour of the First Lady’s wing’s administrative, ICT, catering, media, and protocol units while being accompanied by her security aides.
However, this has sparked mixed reactions from many Nigerians, while some prayed and applauded her readiness to serve Nigeria alongside her husband, others questioned if the office of the first lady is constitutionally recognized.

So if you be president or your husband be president your job is to eat all his money and not take part in making the change we all need especially on issues that has to deal with women and children. Is a First Lady supposed to be just a figure head, really is that what we wish for as women not to be part of the world changer because we are women?”
