Nigerians have chided the First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, who was seen sitting in during a meeting held by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with Former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (NNPCL), Mallam Mele Kyari.
Reacting to the development, Nigerians knocked Mrs. Tinubu for breaching protocol, wondering what an unelected First Lady is doing in an official meeting of government personnel.
Below are few reactions:
Pearls @MissPearls:
“Within 2 Days and They’ve Started Breaking Protocols. Why is Remi Sitting through this meeting Tinubu had with the CBN Governor, NNPC GMD and Shettima? Does this Woman Know what Boundaries Are At All? What’s Her Role Here? Can Someone Explain to Me?”
@PIDOMNIGERIA was very sarcastic, addressing Remi as “Madam President”:
“Madam president (Remi Tinubu) her husband the first gent (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and her vice president Shettima. Madam president presiding over an official meeting with CBN governor and NNPC GMD.”
Olaudah Equiano @RealOlaudah:
“Apparently Remi sat through the meeting BAT had with the CBN Governor and the GMD NNPC. Shettima attended too. So apparently we have a President, Deputy President and Vice President. Notice also that both Tinubu and Remi has their ADC’s present too. A long ride.”
Shehu Gazali Sadiq @Shehusky:
“Remi Tinubu attends official meeting called by Tinubu. In attendance are Shettima, CBN governor and NNPC group managing director. Remi also has her ADC behind her. Is this normal? Nigeria don buy market.”

“Tinubu has lost His Memory Within 2 Days and They’ve Started Breaking Protocols. Why is Remi Sitting through this meeting Tinubu had with the CBN Governor, NNPC GMD & Shettima? Does this Woman Know what Boundaries Are At All? What’s Her Role Here? Can Someone Explain to Me?”

“Nigeria gets first female president in the most unusual circumstance. Madam Remi Tinubu, her husband the first gent (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and their vice, Mr. Shettima presiding over an official meeting with CBN governor and NNPC GMD in Abuja.”
@iam_morobi:
“Wait! Remi Tinubu sat through the meeting BAT had with the CBN Governor and the GMD NNPC? I need to meet Patience Jonathan, go down on my knees, with tears pouring down my cheeks, and say “I’m sorry ma’am for saying you acted unconstitutionally.”
Izuchukwu Sixtus @Izusixtus:
“I believe this is not a joke! What’s Reni Tinubu doing in a meeting of NNPC boss, CBN governor and vice president?”
