The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, has stated that the time of politicking in the Nation is over and time for the prospect seen by the founding fathers of the Nation to materialize.
She made this known when the Wives of Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria paid her a congratulatory visit in her office at the State House, Abuja.
The First Lady pointed out that women have a critical role in bringing healing to the Nation hence the Renewed Hope Initiative RHI reaching out to the displaced people of Mangu in Plateau State.
She spoke of the desire of RHI to give N1 million each to the 500 misplaced families of the Mangu disaster.
“Our colonial masters saw a prospect in Nigeria and that is why they brought all of us together. It is time for that prospect to materialize now.
“When we build lives, we are actually building our nation. Politics is over. Every state we want to really affect. We want to go in there because it is our state. Nigeria belongs to all of us. So when we want to begin politics, everybody will go back to their own tents, but right now, Nigeria is more important. It is more important than any party or any political affiliation,” she said.
It was an opportunity for Senator Oluremi Tinubu to highlight some of the achievements of the Initiative within the first 100 days of President Bola Tinubu administration.

“There is no gainsaying that families need a better life but how do we go about it? Turning lives around is very important,” the First Lady said.
She urged the Ministers’ Wives to continue to support their husbands and make them proud at all times.
