Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Sam Amadi, former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has commended Nigeria\u2019s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, for her style and public conduct, while noting that other aspects of her public life remain open to debate.<\/p>\n

Amadi, who made the remarks via X on Thursday, said the First Lady has demonstrated commendable poise and dignity in her appearance since assuming office.<\/p>\n

He, however, referenced her controversial comments during the 2023 election period, describing them as a \u201cbad spot,\u201d but added that aside from that, her public bearing has been satisfactory.<\/p>\n

Amadi wrote: \u201cThe thing about the First Lady I like is that she dresses well and dignified. Other things are arguable. But her poise and public bearing since coming to the office have been commendable.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the bad spot remains the hate speech during the 2023 election. Beside that, she has been fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remark comes amid President Bola Tinubu\u2019s official visit to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s visit, government officials said, is aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and attracting foreign investment to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to the presidency, the trip is part of ongoing efforts to reposition the country\u2019s economy through strategic international partnerships.<\/p>\n
