Remi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, has stated that she did not expect to be recognized by United States President Donald Trump.
Her declaration follows her recent appearance at the United States National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.
Tori News reported that during the event, Trump publicly acknowledged the Nigerian First Lady and described her as a highly respected leader of one of Nigeria’s largest churches.
Speaking during an interview on Fox News while on an official visit to the United States, the first lady stated that she is now going global.
“Who would have thought that President Trump would recognise me? I am getting global recognition on all of this, and that is what life is all about. If something is going to be good, it starts from the rubbles,” she said.
