Nigeria’s First Lady Sen. Remi Tinubu on Thursday donated ₦1 billion to Plateau State under her Renewed Hope Initiative.

She emphasised that this was not a political visit, but a deeply emotional one.

While calling for an end to the bloodshed that has plagued the State for years, the First Lady declared that future visits would focus on development, not responding to tragedy.

Tinubu stated while addressing a gathering of traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community members at the banquet hall Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos.

According to her, “This will be the last time I will respond to such a situation in Plateau. From now on, it shall be for the progress of the state.

“This visit is filled with mixed emotions for me. I came here first as a mother, whose heart bleeds each time I hear about killings or bloodshed.

“It took me some time to respond, but I want to assure you that this will be the last time I will come to Plateau for such a reason. From now on, it shall be for the progress of the state”, she maintained.

Tinubu shared a hopeful moment from her arrival in Jos, recalling how a young girl greeted her with fruits and vegetables, calling the state “the land of peace and tourism.”

“When I arrived at the airport, I remember the little girl who came to greet me with a bowl of fruits and vegetables, saying, ‘Welcome to the land of peace and tourism.’

“I knew at that moment that God had already spoken because, as the Bible says, ‘Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, God has ordained perfect praise.’ From the mouth of this child, there shall be peace in this land. Amen.”

Tinubu also reflected on the renewed national anthem and its message of patriotism.

“When Mr. President decided to revert to the old national anthem this year, it brought back memories of the anthem that instilled patriotism and love for this land. When we hear the second stanza, ‘To hand unto our children a banner,’ we must reflect on our actions and the legacy we leave behind.

“But when we look at the killings, the rapes, and the terror, we must ask ourselves: have we truly protected our land?” she said, urging leaders to prioritise peace and unity.

Appealing to the men of Plateau, Tinubu urged them to step up as protectors of their families and communities.

“I want to stress this: we women do not fight. We do not carry arms. But we are asking you, as men, to protect us,” she said.

“We are asking you to ensure that our children can live in peace and grow up without fear. What legacy do you want to leave behind?

“When we speak of protection, it’s not just about security—it’s about safeguarding the future of our children.”

Tinubu’s donation of ₦1 billion was announced as part of her Renewed Hope Initiative, which aims to support vulnerable Nigerians.

She clarified that the funds were not from government sources but raised through contributions from individuals and well-wishers.

“I do not have vast sums of money, but what I have is meant to bring life, not to pour money into a basket, If I kept money for personal gain, it would only serve to satisfy greed. But my goal is to use the resources I have for good, for the development of this country, not to waste it.” She stressed.

“You are the custodians of this land. We as officeholders will come and go, but you will remain. Please, I urge you to bring peace to this land. God will help you to protect and preserve this land,” she admonished.

Responding, Governor Caleb Mutfwang expressed deep appreciation for the first lady’s visit and donation, describing her as “a mother of the nation.”

He commended her for consistently showing compassion and support for vulnerable communities across the country.

“Her presence here today is deeply appreciated. We are grateful for her continued support and prayers.

“We remain committed to peace and reconciliation, and with her encouragement, we are confident of lasting peace”.

You can imagine where that "chicken change" is coming from. Donating over 500k pounds in this economy, now ask yourself how much these politicians including Tinubu and his families with their cronies have stolen from the commonwealth of Nigeria.

Sarki is begging for 30k monthly to defend Apc. If she get 1b to give that means she has over 100b.
Then tell me wetin husband go have 100 trillion

Visible cash or audio money because the cash big for just Aunty Remi to cash out o

You can't satisfy people, she donated money for victims una still dey complain, if them no do una go still complain

Yeye,na our money dey fly so, the painful part of it, the fund will be relooted.

Koralords:
You can't satisfy people, she donated money for victims una still dey complain, if them no do una go still complain

Would you have said the same thing if patience Jonathan or Denzani former petroleum minister did the same?.

Make una continue.

Good gesture, but what is the source of the money?

It is interesting that politicians will steal funds meant for security running into hundreds of billions of naira, and then when an avoidable security situation arises for which the funds should have prevented in the first place, they donate N1bn as assistance and expect to be applauded and praised.

Good gestures are only as good as the underlying motives.

If the source of the funds are not from the government purse, legal or illegal, then kudos to RT.
