Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to the well-being of Nigerians after receiving the chieftaincy title of Iya Oba of Ikorodu in Lagos State.
The honour was conferred by the traditional ruler of Ikorodu, Oba Kabir Shotobi, during activities marking his 10th coronation anniversary. Mrs Tinubu, represented by Oluremi Hamzat, wife of the Lagos State deputy governor, described the recognition as both a personal honour and a call to service, noting the cultural significance of the title.
She commended Oba Shotobi’s decade of leadership, marked by peace, progress, stability, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau praised the monarch’s inclusive leadership, which he said had elevated Ikorodu’s status from a rural community to a thriving business hub.
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; the Akarigbo of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi; and NDLEA chairman Buba Marwa also lauded Oba Shotobi for his impactful leadership.
