The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has declared that Nigeria has moved beyond its period of economic reforms and is now entering an era of prosperity.\n<\/p>\n
She made the declaration on Saturday in Enugu State at the South-East Women Mega Empowerment Rally organised by the All Progressives Congress Women Mobilisation Directorate in support of President Bola Tinubu\u2019s re-election bid.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking in Pidgin English, the First Lady said her husband had asked her to assure Nigerians that the country was moving towards economic prosperity.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cMr President say make I greet everybody. You know why? He say make I tell una say we don do reforms, na prosperity we dey now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She likened the transition to the final stages of pregnancy, saying Nigerians were approaching a period when they would begin to enjoy the benefits of the government\u2019s policies.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that when a woman is pregnant, e go dey wonder when the pikin go come. You know that we are pushing into prosperity,\u201d she added.\n<\/p>\n
She also defended the APC government\u2019s empowerment initiatives, contrasting them with what she described as the tendency of political opponents to make promises without taking action.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cWe no dey talk, talk, talk and talk alone. I hear una say, talk and do. And you know say e dey pain dem o but e dey sweet us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The First Lady further announced plans to empower women across the South-East, saying 250 women would receive N200,000 each to start businesses.\n<\/p>\n
She also announced another empowerment programme for 250 elderly women scheduled for 17 December, adding that the initiatives would benefit 750 women across the five South-East states.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cCome December 3rd, we go give all of una senatorial candidates money to empower on World Disability Day,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
She added that the programme for elderly women would be implemented through APC candidates in the region, urging them to ensure its execution.\n<\/p>\n
Remi Tinubu said she had visited the South-East several times since her husband assumed office and remained committed to supporting women in the region.\n<\/p>\n
She also urged residents to re-elect President Tinubu and vote for other APC candidates contesting state and federal legislative and executive positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake una vote my husband and others for January 16. Like my sister said, from top to where? Bottom,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
The First Lady said she and her husband had spent the past four years engaging with Nigerians across the country and would continue to do so.\n<\/p>\n
She also challenged the audience to identify similar empowerment programmes organised by other presidential candidates.\n<\/p>\n
