First Lady Oluremi Tinubu recently attended the opening of the Diamed Center in Lagos, where she highlighted her diverse background. During her speech, Mrs. Tinubu revealed that her mother belongs to the Itsekiri ethnic group, yet she is proficient in speaking Yoruba.
This ability to communicate in different languages reflects her belief in the value of understanding and embracing various cultures.
Furthermore, Mrs. Tinubu expressed her connections to multiple ethnic groups, including the Igbo community, which enables her to connect with individuals from all regions of Nigeria.
By referring to herself as a “detribalized Nigerian,” she underscores her belief in transcending tribal divides and promoting unity among diverse groups in the country.
In a report from Channels TV from 1:14:48, Oluremi Tinubu said, “CEO you see that I am not doing badly. My mother is Itsekiri but I still speak Yoruba well, so you go and learn. So that is why I am a true Nigerian. I have Igbo, everyone is in my blood so that is why I am a very detribalized Nigeria.”….Seë_Morë
