Governor Uba Sani has described Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, as the mother of the nation who is caring and compassionate.
The governor made this known in his remarks at the distribution of food items and palliatives for Christmas and New Year at the Umaru Yar’adua Conference Centre, Kaduna, on Thursday.
Governor Uba Sani said Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s “life is one devoted to the service of humanity.”
“As First Lady of Lagos State, she initiated many social intervention programs to uplift the living conditions of the poor, weak, vulnerable, and underserved,” he added.
The Governor recalled that “in the 9th Senate, she sponsored many motions and bills aimed at empowering the less privileged.
“Her Excellency was my dear colleague in the 9th Senate. Like the Mother that she truly is, she took good care of us, her colleagues. We were always sure to receive welfare packages from her during festive periods. Her generosity knows no bounds,” he recalled.
The Governor pointed out that “as First Lady of Nigeria, she has not relented in her efforts at putting smiles on the faces of the underprivileged in our society.”
According to him, “her Renewed Hope Schemes for the Elderly and Women are clear pointers to her unwavering commitment to the welfare of our people.”
