Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has reflected on her political journey, describing herself as a silent worker who focuses on results rather than public praise for her achievements.

She made the remarks during a recent interview with journalists, where she responded to questions about her political record and contributions to governance.

Tinubu Highlights Senate Record

Oluremi Tinubu pointed to her years in the National Assembly, noting her service as Senator representing Lagos Central for three consecutive terms.

She said her political journey has been defined by service and consistency, stressing that she prefers not to celebrate her own achievements publicly.

“I wasn’t going to address it, but now that you’re putting me on the spot. I have ran elections. I am the first woman to be in the Senate three times. I don’t sing my own praise, but I am a silent worker,” she stated.

Focus on Service, Not Recognition

The First Lady added that her approach to leadership has always been centred on delivering impact rather than seeking recognition.

She maintained that her contributions in public service speak for themselves through her years in elected office.

Oluremi Tinubu served as Senator for Lagos Central before assuming the role of First Lady following the election of President Bola Tinubu.
