Lioness of Aso Villa: The Evolution of Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu at 65

There is a fire inside Oluremi Tinubu that never seems to burn less. It’s intense, yet innate and skin deep. It burns brilliantly and true, brightening her face and framing the feline girth that shelters her persona.

Her lips, like preternatural folds of flesh, serve as furrowed pillows to her speech and windows to dentition that captivates almost too often at first glance. Every first gaze at Nigeria’s First Lady and wife of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arrests many a looker caught between her carriage and élan.

Sometimes mistaken to be strict, Oluremi is chummier than often imagined. Swathed in attitude and pleasant punch lines masqueraded as sardonic humour, Oluremi, fondly called ‘Remi’ by friends and family, flaunts that rare spark and spiritedness that most women and First Ladies of her ilk suffer a dearth of.
