First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has said she will wear an Akwete wrapper if President Bola Tinubu is re-elected for a second term, praising the traditional fabric for its quality and cultural significance.

She made the remark during her maiden visit to the Akwete Weaving Cooperative Village in Abia State on Tuesday, where she also announced a ₦2 billion donation to support the revitalisation of the historic weaving industry.

Speaking during the visit, the First Lady described Akwete fabric as soft, breathable and a symbol of Nigeria's rich cultural heritage.

"If God brings my husband in a second time, I'll be wearing a buba and wrapper made from Akwete. I am going to be wearing that because it is very soft breathable cotton.

"I saw young people in their family doing the exact thing. So it is a craft transferred from generation."

Commends women preserving the craft

Oluremi Tinubu praised the women of the cooperative for preserving the centuries-old weaving tradition despite economic challenges.

She encouraged Nigerians to embrace traditional Igbo attire made from Akwete fabric as a way of supporting local artisans and sustaining indigenous craftsmanship.

The First Lady explained that she deliberately avoided delivering a formal speech because the visit was intended to be a personal interaction with the weavers.

She said her priority was to meet the women, hear their stories and appreciate their commitment to keeping the craft alive.

Praises Governor Alex Otti

Oluremi Tinubu also commended Abia State Governor Alex Otti, describing him as "a very good man."

She recalled previously reaching out to the governor's wife to learn more about the Akwete weaving tradition and expressed gratitude that the visit eventually became a reality.

"I just wanted to meet with these women, which I will tell the story. But we went on, and my husband said something. He said I was getting frustrated. I said, Otti is a good man.

Where is she getting all her billions from. Since 2023, she has been donating in billions to various groups.

She knows that her husband will not be re-elected again, she is now negotiating, wearing Akwete wrapper will not put food on our table, it will even worsen the situation in Nigeria. She will give account of these Billions she doses out when the time comes.

Your husband said he will pay waec fees of all students if elected in 2023. Did he pay? No!


I am waiting for her to also say she will be having vacation in sambisa forest yearly to boost tourism if her husband is re-elected.

Honestly, if he had a conscience, he would have resigned. What will he be coming back to do? Make things worse? What a pity.

If she likes let her go naked we don't care

In this current hardship and hunger, Tinubu wants to renovate 106 palaces with about N23bn, renovate mosques and churches with about N10bn. Hope you know that votes buying has started?
Na the reason for the massive borrowing of loans from foreign institutions and countries be this.

That's a big IF

What is stopping her from wearing it now? Why wait for her husbands second tenure ? Why do politicians make unnecessary promises like this?

So Nigeria's problem and insecurities is all about akwete wrapper,mtcheew.

Only the gullible apc supporters are moved by such.

You will not o patience Jonathan. Sorry. Remi Tinubu onye akara

Which kind one u wan wear before?
We know you can afford Gucci +versace all in one wrapper .
Say no more Ma.

Most of the time I think these people think they are speaking to their 🧟‍♂️ who buy this trash completely
Smh

Tell him to give the middle belt and the south state police and we go close eyes vote for am for second term
I heard the Niger government have removed all Fulani village heads and replaced them with indigenous village heads, this is a good step to improve security

Don't wear it,go and sell Akara,Kuli kuli or Agbado please

If that's the condition for wearing AKWETE, then God no go allow it happy because God no go shame us

She is obviously getting it from selling akara.
Abi what else would make her advise those rendered jobless, extreme poverty paupers by APC balablu bulaba policies, to sell akara?

At least her akara sellers will pay enough taxes for her family to buy more luxury things.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

Stolen extra-budgetary expenses. Abacha will be a holy man when Tinubu is booted out.
She is not SMART, if she was, she would have worn the Akwete rather than promise to wear it after elections. So to us it is all about reelection of her husband. Otilo!!
Madam go home, Igbos no send you.
