No office of First Lady under my presidency – Sowore

Presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has stated that there will be no First Lady office if he assumes the presidency in 2027. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight, Sowore argued that the position is not constitutionally mandated in Nigeria. He emphasized that his marriage would remain unaffected should he become President, but his wife would not hold any official First Lady role.

Sowore emphasized that women would still have a voice in his administration, but maintaining an office for the president’s wife would be a misuse of public funds on an unconstitutionally created position.
