The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, on Sunday conferred the chieftaincy title of ‘Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile-Oodua’ on Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, praising her as a woman of substance who is deeply connected to Yoruba culture and traditions. The title was bestowed during the grand finale of events marking the Ooni’s 10th Coronation Anniversary at Afewonro Park, Enuwa Square, within the Ooni’s Palace in Ile-Ife. 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. The Ooni also acknowledged former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his assistance during his early reign and expressed appreciation for Senator Tinubu’s guidance and maternal care during critical moments. In her response, Senator Oluremi Tinubu expressed gratitude to God and described the honour as both humbling and divine. She lauded the Ooni for his visionary and progressive leadership, which has elevated the global recognition of the Yoruba race and brought renewed pride to the Ife Kingdom. “The joy of the nation has come, and we are just beginning to celebrate. 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. Former President Obasanjo also praised the First Lady, urging her to continue her humanitarian work while commending the Ooni for recognizing her contributions. Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, described Senator Tinubu as a pillar of national development and highlighted her role in supporting numerous impactful initiatives. He further praised the Ooni for his decade of transformative leadership, noting his efforts in promoting Yoruba culture, fostering unity, and driving community and economic development. “In 10 years, Kabiyesi has redefined leadership, using his exalted stool to promote peace, unity, and progress. His initiatives have strengthened the Yoruba race and raised the global profile of Ile-Ife,” Governor Adeleke said, noting the Ooni’s investments in job creation, youth empowerment, and sustainable community development. The ceremony was attended by dignitaries including the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar; the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III; former First Lady Patience Jonathan; and the Soun of Ogbomosho, Ọba Ghandi Afọlábí, who all joined in celebrating the Ooni’s 10 years of impactful reign.

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. He said the government can work with global allies without compromising the nation’s sovereignty, adding that the President is open to collaborations that will benefit the country. 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. Archbishop Onuoha, speaking with journalists, said Nigeria desperately needs support to confront its growing challenges, especially insecurity. According to him, anyone who thinks the nation does not need help is living in denial. He explained that seeking security assistance is no different from seeking financial or humanitarian support. 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.

Nigerians are reacting to a recent post by Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication to President Bola Tinubu, in which he praised First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for showing humility by kneeling to greet Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti. The gesture took place in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during a recent visit. Dare shared a photo of the moment on social media, commending the First Lady for her respectful conduct. However, the post has drawn mixed reactions online. While some praised the act as a sign of cultural respect, others criticized Dare for highlighting it in an official capacity. Critics argued that such displays, though personal and symbolic, are not matters of national importance and should not be amplified by government officials.

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.
