An ambassador-designate and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, has described the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu’s recent diplomatic visit to the United States as a major step towards improving Nigeria’s international image. By standing on that global stage, the First Lady didn’t just represent the President; she represented the truth of our national character. He added that global relations are often shaped by perception, and Mrs Tinubu’s engagement has helped redirect international understanding of Nigeria’s security and governance realities. The senator concluded that the visit could strengthen Nigeria’s standing with global partners and encourage fairer international cooperation. According to him, the administration of President Bola Tinubu remains committed to secular and inclusive governance, a message now “loudly heard” worldwide following the visit.
