The All Progressives Congress has congratulated the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday, describing her as a steadfast pillar of support to President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC noted that beyond her roles as wife and mother, the First Lady had remained firmly by the President’s side from his pro-democracy activism days through his tenure as Lagos State governor and now as Nigeria’s leader.
“Senator Remi Tinubu has been a steadfast pillar of support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, throughout his remarkable journey of public service. From Mr. President’s days as a pro-democracy activist, as Governor of Lagos State, and now as President, the First Lady has remained an inestimable treasure of support and dependable ally, for which our nation is thankful,” the statement read in part.
The party also praised her as a devoted Christian, seasoned public servant, philanthropist, and astute politician who has touched many lives through initiatives such as the Renewed Hope Initiative and the New Era Foundation.
According to the APC, these platforms have championed programmes that provide scholarships, healthcare support, empowerment for women and youths, and welfare assistance for senior citizens, widows, and other vulnerable groups.
The statement added that the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, members of the National Working Committee, and millions of party members across the country joined the First Family in celebrating Senator Tinubu.
“We pray God to grant her excellent health, strength, grace, and wisdom in her continued devoted service to family, country and humanity,” it stated.
Earlier, President Tinubu described his wife as his confidant, counsellor, and steady anchor through decades of political and personal trials.
