PHOTOS: Remi Tinubu bags chieftaincy title in Imo

First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu was honored with the traditional title of Oso Di Eme I of Imo State on Wednesday, as announced by her Senior Special Adviser to the First Lady on Media, Busola Kukoyi. The title, which translates to "She who supports her husband" in English, acknowledges her unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu. Kukoyi described the honor, stating, "Oso Di Eme 1 of Imo State meaning 'She who supports her husband.'"

Captured in vivid photographs, the First Lady donned traditional attire adorned with APC party symbols and Nigerian flag motifs. She held a large ceremonial fan inscribed with "OSO DI EME" and a white horsetail flywhisk. The ceremony took place during the First Lady's recent visit to Imo State, where she was warmly received by local traditional rulers.

This latest chieftaincy title follows her previous honor of "Ugosimba 1 of Enugu" in June 2026, given for her contributions to women's empowerment and social development across Nigeria.
