By BONIFACE AKARAH
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has felicitated the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 66th birthday, describing her as a compassionate leader whose interventions have touched Nigerians across political, ethnic, religious and geographical boundaries.
In a birthday message issued on Monday, Yilwatda, on behalf of the APC National Working Committee, leaders and millions of members of the party, congratulated Oluremi Tinubu on the occasion, highlighting her work in education, healthcare, women and youth empowerment and support for vulnerable Nigerians through the Renewed Hope Initiative and other interventions.
Yilwatda described the First Lady as a “true mother of the nation,” saying her activities had demonstrated that leadership was about restoring dignity, rekindling hope and giving Nigerians confidence that tomorrow could be better.
He also commended what he described as her “quiet acts of kindness” and commitment to humanity, saying these had made her a source of comfort and inspiration to many Nigerians.
The APC chairman further highlighted Oluremi Tinubu’s support for her husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the administration pursues its economic transformation and national renewal agenda.
He said her “strength, wisdom, prayers and understanding” had provided an important pillar of support to the President as he carried out the responsibilities of governing the country.
“Your partnership exemplifies the power of shared purpose in the service of a nation,” Yilwatda said.
The APC chairman prayed for the First Lady to be blessed with good health, wisdom, grace and renewed energy, while wishing her greater fulfilment in the years ahead.
He also prayed for the continued blessing of her union with the President and for strength and wisdom for the couple in their service to Nigeria.
“May the years ahead bring you greater fulfilment and enable you to touch even more lives with your compassion and service,” he said.
Yilwatda concluded by wishing Oluremi Tinubu a happy 66th birthday and praying that her life would continue to be a blessing to Nigeria and humanity.
