Oyo State is set to receive Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Monday, August 31, 2026, as the Tinubu Torch Bearers (TTB), Oyo State Chapter, rolls out a grand welcome for her at Ilaji Resort, Ibadan.
According to an invitation released by the group, the event will commence at 9:00 a.m at Ilaji Hotels & Sports Resort, Akanran, Ibadan, and is expected to attract party leaders, women groups, youth organisations, community stakeholders and supporters from across the state.
Beyond the ceremonial reception, political observers believe the visit will further strengthen grassroots engagement in the state while providing another opportunity for consultation with party faithful and key stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections, where President Bola Tinubu is widely expected to seek a second term.

Tinubu Torch Bearers is a nationwide mobilisation platform inaugurated earlier this year to deepen support for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Designed as a women-led grassroots movement, the initiative seeks to expand its reach from states to local governments, wards and polling units while promoting civic participation, women empowerment and community development.
Mrs. Tinubu’s visit is also expected to reinforce her long-standing humanitarian interventions through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), a social investment platform that has delivered empowerment programmes for women, youths, vulnerable families, senior citizens and other disadvantaged groups across Nigeria.
