During the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC, US President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, describing her as a “highly respected woman.”
The annual gathering, which brings together lawmakers, religious leaders, and international dignitaries, featured Trump highlighting Mrs. Tinubu’s presence as he addressed issues of faith and religious freedom worldwide.
“We are honoured to have the First Lady of Nigeria with us today, who also serves as a Christian pastor at Nigeria’s largest church… a very respected woman,” Trump remarked during his speech.
Senator Remi Tinubu is an ordained pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of Nigeria’s largest Pentecostal congregations, founded by Pastor Enoch Adeboye. Her dual role as First Lady and church leader has made her a prominent figure in both religious and diplomatic spheres.
The acknowledgment comes amid ongoing global attention to Nigeria’s security situation. In October 2025, President Trump labeled Nigeria a “country of particular concern” citing attacks on Christians, a designation the Nigerian government contested, emphasizing that insecurity affects citizens of all faiths.
By highlighting Remi Tinubu at this high-profile event, Trump underscored the convergence of faith, diplomacy, and leadership, reinforcing her influence as both a spiritual and national figure.
