‘I never thought Trump would acknowledge me’ – Remi Tinubu
President Trump publicly acknowledged Tinubu at the event, describing her as a highly respected leader associated with one of Nigeria’s largest churches.
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has said she was surprised by the recognition she received from United States President, Donald Trump, during her recent visit to the United States.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Tinubu said she did not anticipate being publicly acknowledged by the US President, describing the moment as humbling and unexpected.
“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.
Her comments followed her appearance at the United States National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington, DC, where Trump publicly acknowledged her presence and described her as a highly respected religious leader associated with one of Nigeria’s largest churches.
According to Daily Trust, the National Prayer Breakfast is an annual interfaith gathering that brings together political leaders, lawmakers, religious figures and invited international guests to reflect on faith, leadership and global cooperation.
Over the years, the event has also served as a platform for diplomatic engagement and symbolic recognition of foreign dignitaries, reinforcing soft diplomacy through faith-based dialogue.
