 The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Uluremi Tinumbu-CON says women would play a pivotal role in nursing Nigeria back to health. She was speaking after a closed-down meeting with wives of former APC governors at a state house in Abuja. The First Lady noted that the visit was to get the support of the wives of the former governors for the various programs of government and the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHR in particular. Senator Uluremi Tinumbu said the former First Ladies were partnering with the various incumbents in the states in this regard. This is the first time we will have a state of emergency being placed on food security and also for subsidies there. So how are ways we can always, you know, try to ameliorate the inconvenience all these new reforms are having on people. So this is why I need the mothers. I need them, you know, they are not women, they are women of substance. So it's just to help them that they have to continue what they've been doing. They can't stop because I can't get to every household. So they can't stop. Even if it is reaching out to the next neighbor, they should help. So if we can cushion whatever inconvenience we are going through now, it will go a long way. So this is just part of me going into familiar territory saying I need you, I need your help. I thought about, you know, wives of, in the Christian community, in the Muslim community, I've tried to reach out. And also the wives of royal fathers. So the royal fathers came to see His Excellency. They'll have something they are doing. We need all hands have to be on deck like they used to say for this country to move forward. So that is what, you know, campaign is over. What is left with is the rebuilding of our nation. And that's why I'm asking them for support. Speaking on behalf of the wives of the former governors, B.C. Fireme, wife of the former governor of Iqiti State, promised that they would all be working with the First Lady, Senator Olu Rehmi Sinibu, and wives of the governors of their various states to actualize the goals and aspirations of this government. The First Lady, Senator Olu Rehmi Sinibu also thanked them for their support during the electioneering period, which culminated in the victory of the President, Bola Meir Sinibu, and others. In the past is that when you go through an electoral cycle, women do all the hard work. They do all the mobilizing, they do all the organizing, they show up, and they make sure that the votes count. But then after that is done, women are pushed to the margins. And then when the next electoral cycle comes, we start all over again. So what is happening now is a recognition that women matter, that mothers matter, because we have a lot of influence in our communities, in our households. As I said, it's not just about bringing former falsities together. It's about recognizing the power that women have wherever they are in the Nuku communities and to understand that we can't achieve any of our development goals as a nation if we do not invest in the empowerment of women. So we are here as sisters to support our mother, the First Lady, in all her endeavors. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
