Remi was seen with the President, and vice president, Kashim Shettima during a meeting on economic matters.

Nigerians have expressed concern after the first lady, Remi Tinubu was reportedly seen in a meeting between President Bola Tinubu, vice president, Kashim Shettima on economic issues.

It was claimed that the photo was reportedly taken from the meeting of Tinubu with the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, and the Group Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

It is uncertain if she took part in the meeting but many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their reservation about the photo.

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”
