  "summary": "First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has emphasized that leaving political office should not mean the end of public service, urging former Speakers and Deputy Speakers of state Houses of Assembly to continue their contributions to national development. Speaking at the National Summit of the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of State Houses of Assembly of Nigeria in Abuja, Tinubu encouraged these former legislative leaders to mentor younger legislators, strengthen democratic institutions, and preserve institutional memory. The summit also saw the endorsement of President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 general elections by the former presiding officers, who pledged to mobilize their members nationwide in support of his re-election.",
