Remi Tinubu Advocates for Patience Amid Economic Reforms

Remi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu, made remarks in Abuja suggesting that Nigerians who do not recognize her husband's achievements may need special eyeglasses to appreciate the changes in the country. Her comments were made during the inauguration of the Abuja headquarters of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, which is mobilizing support for her husband's re-election in 2027.

She cited developments at Nigerian airports as evidence of progress and referenced the Jigi-Bola initiative from her husband's tenure as Lagos State governor, which provided eye care services. Remi Tinubu has previously urged patience with her husband's government, defending its economic reforms despite the hardships caused by the removal of the petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market.

She emphasized that her husband is not a magician and is working to address the country's challenges. Her comments also included a call for trust in the administration's ability to deliver on its promises.
