Less than 24 hours after her husband Bola Tinubu took office, Nigeria’s first lady, Remi Tinubu, came under fire online for violating protocol.
According to Newsmen, a picture that has been circulating online shows Kashim Shettima, the vice president, and President Remi during a meeting about the economy.
According to reports, Tinubu met with Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

She is not just the first lady but also the deputy president. From Iyaloja General of Nigeria to First Daughter of the FRN. Family enterprises”

An office that does not align with De constitution of federal republic of Nigeria.

Why on earth will the First Lady be briefed on economic matters by the CBN and NNPCL?
Emefiele has been a disgrace to the Central bank. He has made a caricature of the institution. The NNPCL has always been a joke, albeit an expensive one.
We won’t tolerate the gross disregard of national institutions again. This nonsense must stop. The First Lady is a ceremonial title, not an elected office that should be briefed on matters of the economy”
