First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the Federal Government will sustain its efforts to improve living conditions, declaring that the country is moving beyond economic reforms into a period of prosperity.
She gave the assurance on Friday, November 13, during the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West campaign rally in Gusau, Zamfara State.
The rally attracted governors from Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa and Kaduna states, alongside the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, among other political figures.
Addressing the gathering, Mrs Tinubu said President Bola Tinubu had asked her to reassure residents of Zamfara and the wider North-West that his administration remained committed to fulfilling its promises.
“Mr President said I should tell you that he will continue to work for you and reforms are over. It’s now prosperity. For the second time, you will feel it,” she said.
The First Lady also spoke about her visit to Zamfara, describing it as a particularly joyful experience.
She said although she had travelled to all 36 states, she had long wanted to visit Zamfara, but the construction of an airport had made the journey more convenient.
“This is just the beginning. I’m coming back. I’m coming back again. I will be coming back with the PCC,” she said.

During the visit, traditional rulers conferred on her the title of Jagaban Marafa Zamfara. She expressed gratitude for the recognition and the warm reception she received.
Mrs Tinubu also acknowledged the security challenges confronting the state, extending her condolences to families who had lost relatives in attacks.
She prayed for the souls of those killed and asked God to give their loved ones the strength to cope with their losses.
On women’s empowerment, the First Lady said the APC had continued to support women outside election periods, insisting that its programmes were not designed solely to attract votes.
She disclosed that another empowerment exercise for women was scheduled as part of the rally, with related activities having commenced the previous day.
She also highlighted other government interventions, including support for children returning to school and funding for agriculture, as measures aimed at strengthening the economy and improving livelihoods.
Mrs Tinubu expressed confidence that the administration’s policies and programmes would eventually translate into better living conditions for Nigerians.
The Gusau gathering formed part of the APC’s mobilisation campaign across the seven North-West states ahead of the 2027 general elections.
