Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, has met with the wives of the 36 State Governors to formally introduce and acquaint them with the objectives and the mission of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
The First Lady congratulated the governors’ wives on the successful conduct of the 2023 elections, which brought their husbands to office and reminded them that it was time to keep promises made during the elections.
In a statement by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, she emphasized that she will require the support of the wives of the state governors to reach every nook and cranny of the country.
The First Lady believes that looking at the past can most assuredly chart a path for the present and future, and this can best be done collectively for better and more sustainable impact.
Tinubu assured the governor’s wives that the RHI would not interfere with their programs and projects and that she believed their support would be impactful.
She said, “I wish to remind each of us that the exalted positions we are in today should be seen as an opportunity to impact more meaningfully, not only in the lives of people in your states but Nigeria as a whole”.
While speaking with journalists after the meeting, Amb. Olufolake Abdulrazak, the wife of Kwara State Governor, assured of the willingness and commitment of the wives of the governors to support RHI, stating that they will go back and elect zonal coordinators to take the mantle to ensure that the grassroots are reached.
She also confirmed that RHI would not affect their projects in their various states but complement their efforts.
The Renewed Hope Initiative is a pet project of the Office of the First Lady of Nigeria.
