Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, sent a clear call. She asked Nigerians to stop badmouthing the country today. Her words came during a two-day visit to Gombe State. She spoke at the Emir of Akko’s palace in Kumo.
The First Lady said views abroad have changed in real time. She said, “Stop badmouthing your nation,” as the hall grew still. In her words, the “most corrupt country” label is now gone. She said the world now sees chance and hope in Nigeria.
Visit to Gombe and palace remarks
Tinubu met His Royal Highness Alhaji Umar Muhammad Atiku. He is the Emir of Akko and host of the palace event. She thanked the court for warm cheer and kind hosts. The date was Thursday, 2 October, 2025.
Her core line stayed firm and clear throughout the stop. “Gone are the days they call Nigeria the most corrupt,” she said. “You will not hear that again,” she told the room. “Nigeria is the next destination,” she added with a smile.
She also spoke on how folks abroad now react. “When they hear you are from Nigeria, they lean in,” she said. “They want to visit and learn more about our land,” she added. She urged pride and calm faith in the nation’s fresh path.
Last month, the President shared a warm 65th birthday note. That post drew kind words for the First Lady’s work. The buzz placed her acts in bright public view. Today’s tour adds a new page to that story.
Pride message and praise for Nigeria
Tinubu praised Gombe’s look while on the tour. “Your landscape is beautiful,” she told hosts at the palace. She said the green fields match the London countryside views. She said she saw such looks in other states too.
Her words linked pride to people and place in full. “We have to be proud,” the First Lady stressed. She said the nation has vast minds and rich land. That mix, she adds, should build bold hope for the future.
Some public talk on her work still runs online. ValidUpdates noted Peter Obi’s donation view. Today, her call turns to the wider mood. She wants plain words that build peace and lift pride.
Tinubu ended with a soft nod to hosts in Gombe. She thanked the Emir and his court for their care. She praised the state’s calm look and wide warm paths. She urged all Nigerians to speak light and keep hope
