Remi Tinubu argues that kidnappers ought to be executed.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the first lady of Nigeria, has urged legislators and state governors to impose the death penalty for abduction.
Remi Tinubu expressed her deepest sorrow for the kidnapping of women and children, whom she regarded as the nation’s future.
According to Busola Kukoyi, Remi Tinubu made this statement while meeting with APC national women leaders at Abuja’s State House.
“What cowards they are. We are devastated. As soon as we seize control of them, the state governments should understand that they are deserving of the death penalty. Why won’t they even consider larger men? For what reason are they touching kids and women? In a statement released by Busola on Friday, Remi Tinubu was quoted as saying.
They are actively working to destroy our future. We all know that when our parents get older, we put our faith in our children and consider them as a return on investment—especially when they achieve success.
Now why are you planning to remove children from their classrooms? For the moment, I’ve had enough. Any one of the apprehended individuals merits the death penalty, in my opinion, as a former lawmaker.
Her reasoning was that after carrying their children for nine months, moms cannot bear to see the things they love deteriorate, thus she reasoned that most mothers would agree with her.
Senator Tinubu further informed the ladies that President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda prioritises empowering women in all aspects of life, including the workplace, community, and politics.
It is critical that women’s views be heard and that our contributions be recognised because we are a substantial part of our society. The progress of our country is greatly dependent on your work as female leaders. When it comes to grassroots issues, the government relies on you. She urged the women in attendance to “establish a robust agenda” to improve the lives of women in their party and the country.
Remi Tinubu praised the tenacity, strength, and bravery of Nigerian women during Friday’s gathering, which fell on the same day as the 2024 International Women’s Day.
‘Towards a better life for families’ is our motto, and it guides the work of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which I founded with the intention of advancing women’s rights and launching programmes and projects around the country.
I view investing in women as a critical strategy to build the future of our beloved nation, Nigeria, rather than a kind of charity, because increasing women’s participation is essential to accelerating development in any effort.
The economic and social barriers that women encounter can be partially alleviated by providing them with the education, resources, and opportunities they need to reach their full potential. This can be achieved through initiatives such as bolstering women-owned businesses, funding women’s health, agricultural programmes for women, and establishing pathways for women in science and technology.
“”So, my command to you is to watch out for one another; let us form bonds, love one another, and be a community. You should all make a pact to help a sister out, one by one. What we can accomplish as a group will astound you, she promised.
Dr. Mary Alile, the group’s national head; Zainab Ibrahim, her deputy; and other executive members had already expressed their gratitude to Senator Remi for the positive influence she had on Nigerians’ lives via her work with the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
More inclusiveness in the present administration was also sought, and she was asked to assist in this effort.
