Speaking at the event, Trump acknowledged Mrs Tinubu as a very respected woman.
“We are honoured to be joined today by the First Lady of Nigeria, who also happens to serve as a Christian pastor at one of the largest churches. A very respected woman,” Trump had said.
Reacting, the former lawmaker wrote: “The First Lady has gotten public recognition and respect from President Trump.
“A hardened stance on the country is now softening,courtesy of adept diplomatic engagement. We hope for the best.”
