Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, kicked off 2026 by visiting new mothers at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, Abuja, describing the year as one of “peace in abundance” and “prosperity in abundance” for the country. She was joined by the Vice President’s wife, Hajia Nana Shettima, Minister of Women Affairs Hajia Imaan Sulieman-Ibrahim, Minister of State for the FCT Hajia Mariya Mahmoud, and other dignitaries. During the visit, she welcomed the “First Baby of the Year,” a girl born at midnight to 26-year-old first-time mother Adakole Patience. The First Lady also celebrated Blessing Oragwu, who gave birth to triplets—two boys and a girl—on December 29, 2025, after 13 years of marriage, presenting gifts to the family. “I welcomed the baby of the year, a girl, and then visited the triplets born last month. The mother waited 13 years, which is wonderful,” she said. Reflecting on the start of the new year, Senator Tinubu expressed gratitude for Nigerians who made it into 2026 and shared her hopes for the nation. “In Yoruba land, they say when you have girls, they come with ease. We believe this year will be great for our nation—peace in abundance, prosperity in abundance. We should all be thankful,” she said. She encouraged Nigerian women to pursue their ambitions with faith and generosity. “Nigerian women are blessed and hardworking. If you feel God has placed something in your heart, go after it. Start small if needed—you will be amazed. This year, to prosper, sow into the lives of the less privileged. Be generous. Giving should be intentional,” she added. The First Lady also invited Nigerians to listen to her podcast, Daughters of Zelophehad, for a more detailed message.

Wale busari02 mins

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has downplayed the public reaction to her brief interaction with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, calling the criticism “needless controversy.” In a statement on her Facebook page on Tuesday, Mrs. Tinubu said that while leaders understand their duties, it is often followers and critics who amplify minor issues. She wrote: “Those entrusted with leadership understand their duties and how to steer the affairs of society. More often, it is the followers and critics who scrutinise every step, amplify minor missteps, and turn them into needless controversy. Ọṣun lè tèǹtẹ̀ – Osun is ahead.” Her comments came after a video from the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, showed Governor Adeleke pausing after singing a short song during his speech. In the clip, Mrs. Tinubu approached the podium, gestured to him, and whispered something, a moment that quickly went viral and sparked online debates. The First Lady’s statement marks her first public response since the video circulated, an incident that continues to divide public opinion.

Wale busari02 mins

Dele Momodu has slammed First Lady Oluremi Tinubu over her public confrontation with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke during a recent ceremony in Ile-Ife. The incident, captured on video, showed Governor Adeleke beginning his speech with a song, a style familiar to his supporters. First Lady Tinubu, who had just been honoured with the title Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua, approached the podium and warned the governor to end his performance, threatening to switch off the microphone if he continued singing. Sharing the video on Instagram, Momodu described her actions as “totally beneath her.” He emphasized that, as a non-elected official, she has no constitutional authority to publicly reprimand a sitting governor. He also criticized the religious undertone of her intervention, pointing out that it was surprising for a self-professed pastor to object to a governor praising God. Momodu further questioned whether she would have acted the same way if a Northern governor were reciting the Holy Qur’an, highlighting a potential double standard. While many praised Governor Adeleke’s composure, Momodu placed part of the blame on Nigerians, whom he described as “squeamish” for silently accepting such displays of overreach and disrespect, saying it reflects a failure to defend citizens’ rights.

Oba Ogunwusi commended the First Lady for her unwavering support over the years. “She is the mother of the nation. Ten years ago, on December 7, 2015, she stood by me through thick and thin. Today, we celebrate her as a merciful mother and a pillar of our community,” the monarch said, noting that the title was conferred in collaboration with traditional rulers across Yorubaland.

God has assured us that 2026 will be a year of joy, honour, and restoration, a year in which everyone will partake in renewed glory,” she said.

Wale busari03 mins

The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed her belief that Nigeria will remain united and overcome its challenges. Represented by Bishop Stephen Adegbite at a thanksgiving service in Abuja for the investiture of Most Rev. Sunday Onuoha as Archbishop on Special Duties, she said the nation’s hope rests in God and urged citizens to keep praying for Nigeria and the Church. She noted that while Nigeria welcomes assistance from abroad, the country will not be intimidated or reduced to a disgrace. She added that Nigerians will celebrate Christmas in peace and joy. Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu also stressed the importance of international partnerships in addressing insecurity.

Kalu highlighted the key role of the Church in promoting unity, stability, and progress, saying effective nation-building requires every stakeholder to be involved. He praised Archbishop Onuoha for helping bridge the gap between government and faith-based communities.

He called for an end to blame-shifting, emphasising that the loss of any life is a tragedy that goes beyond ethnic or religious identity. Onuoha pledged to work with the Church and other partners to promote peace and unity across the country.

Ondo Police Clear Oluremi Tinubu’s Convoy in Girl’s Death, Hunt Hit-and-Run Driver

Fola Badmus03 mins

The Ondo State Police Command has officially cleared the convoy of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, of any involvement in a tragic car accident that led to the death of a seven-year-old girl in Akure, the state capital. In a press statement e-signed on Thursday by the Command’s PPRO, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka Olushola and received by the National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP, said investigations and eyewitness testimonies confirmed that the First Lady’s convoy was not linked to the incident. This clarification comes amid circulating reports on social media alleging that a vehicle from Sen. Tinubu’s convoy was responsible for the child’s death. However, the police have firmly dismissed those claims, describing them as unfounded and misleading. “Eyewitness accounts and preliminary investigations conducted by the Ondo State Police Command have confirmed that the incident was caused by a hit-and-run driver operating an unregistered white Lexus vehicle — not by any vehicle belonging to or associated with the First Lady’s convoy,” the statement said. According to the police, the fatal incident occurred around the Oba Ile area of Akure. A witness reportedly chased the fleeing Lexus driver on a motorcycle in an attempt to track the vehicle immediately after the crash. This account, the statement noted, was corroborated by multiple individuals at the scene, including the parents of the deceased child. “The Commissioner of Police, Ondo State Command, was personally present and met with the grieving family to ensure a full and transparent investigation. At no point was the First Lady’s convoy involved in this tragedy,” Ayanlade added. The police extended their condolences to the bereaved family and assured the public that efforts were ongoing to apprehend the driver responsible for the hit-and-run. They also appealed to the public to assist with any information that could help locate the suspect. “We urge anyone with any useful information to please come forward or report to the nearest police station or security post,” the statement concluded.
