The title was bestowed on her on Friday during her visit to the state for the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West Women’s Mega Rally and Empowerment Programme in Gusau, the state capital.
The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the First Lady’s Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi.
The statement described the honour, saying: “Behold the Jagaban Matan Zamfara, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. She was conferred with the title by the Zamfara State Council of Emirs when she visited them on the sidelines of the APC Women Rally on Friday, 13th November 2026.”
The rally in Gusau formed part of the APC’s mobilisation activities targeting women ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the party seeks to consolidate support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The First Lady’s visit also came amid a series of women-focused mobilisation initiatives by the ruling party across the North-West.
Earlier in the week, the APC’s Women Mobilisation Directorate extended its outreach to markets, hospitals and communities in Jigawa State as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots engagement ahead of the forthcoming elections.
