I shouldn’t be afraid of death, I am too old – First Lady Remi Tinubu

Remi Tinubu, the First Lady, remarked that having surpassed the age of 60, she no longer harbors fear of death.

Addressing attendees at the palace of Emir of Bauchi, Dr. Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu, during her visit to the state for the commissioning of an Alternative High School and ICT center on Tuesday, March 12, she recounted an incident where an Islamic cleric, Sunusi Abubakar, allegedly issued a death threat against her.

Remi Tinubu said;

“I want to thank His Excellency for assuring me that I am safe but what I said is that I am too old to be afraid. If God has granted me 60 years, I think I shouldn’t be afraid of death but I thank God I had the courage to come. Nigeria belongs to all of us and this is the time to unite more than ever before.

“Nigeria needs prayers and we believe that God will answer our prayers. I am here today to perform official duty and also pay my Royal respect to His Royal Highness the Emir of Bauchi and to thank him for the warm reception we received today which is a great honour to me and I truly appreciate that.”
