The Presidency of Nigeria has conveyed warm felicitations to Senator Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, CON, OON, on the occasion of her 63rd birthday. In a statement released by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, the State House Management and Staff joined in celebrating Senator Oluremi Tinubu. Her birthday is marked not only as the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but also as a compassionate and responsive mother to her children and the entire nation.
Ngelale recognized Senator Tinubu’s exceptional qualities that extend well beyond her role as the Chief Supporter and Confidant of Nigeria’s number one citizen. He described her as a consummate leader, a dedicated teacher, a compassionate humanitarian, and a fervent minister of the gospel.
A landmark project of Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), was highlighted in the statement – “Through her landmark project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), she has brought hope and resolve back into the lives of thousands of displaced and disadvantaged Nigerians, providing shelter for the homeless and tirelessly working to improve access to education and healthcare for underprivileged citizens nationwide. Her deeply affecting interventions continue to favor all Nigerians, with no special regard for any particular faith, region, or political persuasion.”
Ngelale also acknowledged Senator Tinubu’s sacrifices during her pro-democracy activism days, emphasising her enduring dedication to just causes in the face of trials and uncertainties.
The Special Adviser characterised Senator Tinubu’s character with attributes such as patriotism, dignity, grace, and a strong spirit of public service. Being the first woman to serve three terms in the Nigerian Senate, she holds a unique position in history, contributing to infusing compassion and empathy into public administration across the government.
“The First Lady’s character is defined by her patriotism, dignity, grace, and down-to-earth public spiritedness.
“As the first-ever woman to serve three terms in the Nigerian Senate, she holds a unique position in history to ensure that public administration across the government is infused with compassion and empathy for the plight of the people.
“Today, we express our deep gratitude for her unwavering commitment to our country and the welfare of hundreds of millions of Nigerians, both at home and abroad.”
“It is our prayer on this special day that God Almighty would continue to grant the First Lady more grace and wisdom, strengthening her to trust in His unfailing goodness throughout all the days of her life.
“We say, “Happy Birthday and Congratulations, Ma!”
