- Activist Juddie Osas has openly criticized Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, accusing her of overstepping her role in political matters involving an elected state governor.
- Osas emphasized that the office of the First Lady has no constitutional backing or executive authority, noting that unlike the governor, Mrs. Tinubu was not elected by the people.
- He argued that any message she intended to convey should have been delivered through an aide, stressing that the governor’s mandate comes directly from the electorate, whereas the First Lady’s influence is informal and not legally defined.Activist Faults Remi Tinubu for ‘Overstepping,’ Says First Lady Has No Constitutional Power
Activist Juddie Osas has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, over her involvement in state political issues. Osas stated plainly that the position of the First Lady has no power under the law.
The sharp criticism came after an apparent clash or issue between the First Lady and an elected state Governor.
Osas argued that Mrs. Tinubu was acting beyond her non-elected role. He stressed the difference between her position and that of a Governor, who was chosen directly by the people.
In a public statement, Osas declared:
“Your aide could have passed the information. You were not elected and your office is not recognized by the constitution neither does it have any legislated or executive power. You are just the President’s wife. The Governor was elected by the state”
The activist’s comment questioned the First Lady’s authority and highlighted that the Governor holds power because they were directly “elected by the state.” This is a status Mrs. Tinubu does not share.
