Shehu Sani Praises Oluremi Tinubu's Grassroots Engagement

Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, commented on the role of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, stating that she is the most visible First Lady in Nigeria's Fourth Republic. Sani highlighted her direct engagement with women’s groups and communities across the country, contrasting her approach with that of previous First Ladies, who were often associated with high-level social events and less visible in public life.

He noted that past First Ladies, such as Victoria Gowon, Maryam Babangida, and Maryam Abacha, were less involved in grassroots outreach. Sani acknowledged that while Oluremi Tinubu's contributions to social welfare may be limited, her visibility and direct engagement with ordinary citizens set her apart.

His remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some supporting his assessment while others criticized it for downplaying the contributions of previous First Ladies. The ongoing public scrutiny of the evolving role of First Ladies in Nigeria's democratic era continues to be a topic of debate.
