Nigeria's First Lady Opens Up About Struggles Post-Election

Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has opened up about her struggles following the 2023 general election and her husband's inauguration day on May 29. She faced fear, doubt, and isolation, even questioning her readiness for the role.

Oluremi Tinubu hosted 'pity parties' to cope with her feelings of loneliness and betrayal by allies. She also found it challenging to find the right outfit for the inauguration day 2025. The Muslim-Muslim ticket, which saw both President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima being Muslims, strained ties with church groups, leaving Oluremi Tinubu feeling isolated within her own local church.

However, faith played a significant role in helping Oluremi Tinubu overcome criticism and focus on her duties. She found solace in her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative, which aligns with President Tinubu's agenda, focusing on Agriculture, Economic Empowerment, Education, Health, and Social Investment.

Oluremi Tinubu's honesty about her struggles serves as a reminder that even those in high positions face challenges. Her resilience and focus on her pet project show her commitment to supporting her husband's administration and making a positive impact on Nigeria.
