First Lady Remi Tinubu Vows to Embrace Bùbá and Wrapper if President Wins Second Term

First Lady Remi Tinubu Vows to Embrace Bùbá and Wrapper if President Wins Second Term

Oluremi Tinubu reaffirmed her support for Nigerian cultural attire at a recent event. She said she admires Aṣọ Òkè but often finds it too heavy and stiff. She praised Akwete fabric for its soft, breathable cotton texture. The First Lady revealed that should President Bola Tinubu secure a second term, she plans to wear bùbá and wrapper more often because of their comfort. She noted that her African outfits always draw admiration, even during her international engagements. She encouraged Nigerians to keep passing down traditional dress to the younger generations, so they never lose touch with the country’s rich fashion heritage.

She praises Akwete for breathability yet dismisses Aṣọ Òkè's traditional status as too burdensome.

I'm not convinced that comfort should override the deeper symbolism of Aṣọ Òkè in official functions.
