First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has described the backlash she faced in 2022 over her husband’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket as a bitter pill to swallow.
She said the criticism was painful, even within her church community, but she chose to rise above it by drawing strength from her faith.
She made this known in her new 52-page memoir, The Journey of Grace: Giving Thanks in All Things, released on her 65th birthday.
The book captures her experiences between 2021 and 2025, including her husband’s campaign, the controversies of the 2023 general elections, and her personal growth during that period.
Oluremi Tinubu revealed that beyond the religious storm, her family also faced betrayal from people once considered close allies.
She recalled that many who were expected to back Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition turned away at a critical stage, even after years of preparation and consultations.
The First Lady wrote that the experience taught her not to put trust in people, stressing that true reward comes only from God.
She said she eventually forgave those who walked away and decided not to carry any grudge, choosing instead to focus on peace and thanksgiving.
Pastor Mrs Tinubu. Remember hell fire . Did your husband win the election? Or did he bought it? If you lie you will end up in hell fire
