Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has said Nigerians who fail to recognise developments in the country may need what she described as “Bola Tinubu eyeglasses”.

She made the comment on Friday at the inauguration of the Abuja headquarters of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a grassroots organisation mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Mrs Tinubu maintained that progress was taking place across the country, suggesting that some citizens were yet to acknowledge the changes.

She referenced the Jigi-Bola eye-care initiative, launched by her husband in 2001 during his tenure as Lagos State governor. The programme provided eye examinations, eyeglasses and surgical services, and was relaunched by the Lagos State Government in 2021.

The First Lady also pointed to improvements at Nigerian airports, saying she wanted to travel more quickly and conveniently as the facilities continued to change.

She expressed hope that she would leave the Presidential Villa in 2031 and enjoy a better Nigeria in her seventies.

At the event, Mrs Tinubu formally commissioned the movement’s Abuja headquarters and expressed support for her husband’s anticipated victory in the 2027 presidential election.

She also declared her support for the All Progressives Congress and the movement’s convener, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo.

The inauguration comes as political groups begin mobilising support ahead of the 2027 general election.
