According to her, the new designation would take immediate effect in order to resolve the issue of the title of wives of governors.

She said: “When my husband was newly elected, I personally chose to be called the Wife of the President.

“But, I realised that it causes confusion from the state as to whether the wives of state governors are to be addressed as the first ladies or wives of the governors.

“So, forgive me for confusing you from the beginning, but now I choose to be called the First Lady.”
