File: The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu
The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, says she will wear an Akwete wrapper if her husband, President Bola Tinubu, secures a second term.
She spoke during her maiden visit to the Akwete Weaving Cooperative Village in Abia State on Tuesday, where she also announced a ₦2bn donation for the revitalisation of the local weaving industry.
“If God brings my husband in a second time, I’ll be wearing a buba and wrapper made from Akwete. I am going to be wearing that because it is very soft breathable cotton.
“I saw young people in their family doing exact thing. So it is a craft transferred from generation,” she said.
