The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, has felicitated with the First Lady, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, on the occasion of her 65th birthday celebration today.
Senator Barau, in a congratulatory message on Sunday, hailed Mrs Tinubu’s contribution to nation-building through her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).
“I join all Nigerians and other well-wishers worldwide in congratulating Her Excellency, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, on the occasion of her 65th birthday celebration today.
“A patriotic Nigerian par excellence, Her Excellency’s contribution to the entrenchment of democracy in the country has been immense, sterling and novel.
“With her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), Her Excellency, the mother of the nation, has been making a significant contribution to tackling the challenges facing our country since 2023.
“Her Excellency’s contributions to nation-building did not begin recently. As First Lady of Lagos State (1999 – 2007), she positively impacted the lives of millions of women, children, and youths in the state through the New Era Foundation.
“At the Senate, between 2011 and 2023, when she represented Lagos Central, she left no stone unturned in addressing the country’s challenges through the various committees she chaired and served on.
“I pray to God to grant Her Excellency long life, sound health and wisdom in her endeavours and support to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, to successfully deliver the Renewed Hope Agenda for the peace and progress of our dear country.
“Once again, Happy Birthday, Your Excellency, the Mother of the Nation,” Barau stated.
Also, the senator representing Lagos East senatorial district, Tokunbo Abiru, on behalf of his constituents, extended congratulations to the first lady.
Abiru wrote, “We celebrate your many remarkable accomplishments as the ever-gracious and supportive wife of our esteemed leader and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
“We are immensely proud of your enduring contributions to nation-building, your compassion for humanity, and your inspiring service to our country.
“As a true amazon, you have consistently exemplified humility, resilience, and a deep sense of duty. Your unwavering commitment to public service, your leadership in preserving progressive democratic ideals, and your tireless efforts in championing the cause of the vulnerable stand as a lasting testament to your legacy.
“Through your impactful humanitarian interventions and purposeful initiatives, you have touched countless lives and uplifted the most disadvantaged in our society.
“On this joyous occasion, we join your family, friends, associates, and innumerable well-wishers in offering prayers for your continued good health, strength, and fulfilment.
“May the Almighty God bless you abundantly, grant the desires of your heart, and endow you with greater grace and vitality to remain an icon of hope, inspiration, and leadership for many Nigerians.”
