I'm in office as one of Nigeria's oldest first ladies, Tinubu’s wife says husband is 71 years old

The wife of the President-elect, Bola Asiwaju Tinubu, Oluremi Tinubu, said she would be one of the oldest first ladies in office.

She spoke on Sunday during the presidential inauguration interdenominational church service held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.

Oluremi, senator representing the Lagos Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, also disclosed that her husband is 71 years old.

She extended her gratitude to God over her husband’s victory during the February 25 presidential poll.

“I can tell you that we never believed that this could happen but we thank God for giving us hope.

“Asiwaju is 71, I will be 63. I bet I will be one of the oldest first ladies Nigeria has had. We need the grace of God and everyone to do what they are expected to do.

“Today, God has really proved himself as he did on the night of the primaries and put his seal on it. It is a time for perfection in Nigeria,” she said.
