First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, said the country has moved beyond a period of difficult economic reforms and is entering an era of prosperity, as the administration of President Bola Tinubu seeks to sustain public support for its economic agenda.
Speaking in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, during the launch of the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) North-West campaign rally, Tinubu said the president had asked her to reassure residents that his government would continue working to improve living conditions.
“Mr. President said I should tell you that he will continue to work for you and reforms are over. It’s now prosperity. For the second time, you will feel it,” she said.
The rally drew governors from Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa and Kaduna states, along with Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle and Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Director-General Sen. Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar.
The First Lady described her visit to Zamfara as one of the happiest moments of her life, crediting the state’s new airport with making travel easier.
She said she had visited all 36 states but had long wanted to come to Zamfara.
“This is just the beginning”, she said, adding that “I’m coming back. I’m coming back again. I will be coming back with the PCC”.
The First Lady also expressed sympathy for Zamfara residents affected by persistent insecurity, offering condolences to families that had lost relatives in attacks and praying for the victims.
On women’s welfare, she said the APC’s empowerment programs were intended to support women beyond election campaigns.
She said another round of assistance for women would take place during the rally, while the federal government had also made provisions for children returning to school and funding for agriculture.
She expressed confidence that the administration’s policies would translate into improved living standards for Nigerians, positioning the government’s reform agenda as the foundation for broader economic gains.
