Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has celebrated Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as she clocks 65, describing her as a “compassionate and strong-willed” leader whose influence continues to resonate across the country.
In a congratulatory message issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu, on Sunday, praised Tinubu for her contributions to public service both in Lagos and nationally, noting her record as Lagos First Lady for eight years and as a three-term senator.
“On behalf of my adorable wife, Ibijoke, the government and the entire people of Lagos State, I heartily congratulate Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Nigeria’s First Lady and the wife of our leader and President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on the occasion of her 65th birthday,” the governor said.
He lauded her work through the Renewed Hope Initiative, a pet project of the First Lady, which he said has touched millions of lives since President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.
“Senator Oluremi Tinubu is a great ambassador of our dear State. She has served the State passionately as First Lady for eight years and as a member of the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly for three consecutive terms without any blemish,” Sanwo-Olu said.
“We are proud of her achievements in both private and public offices. Her contributions to the development of both Lagos and Nigeria are commendable.
“We celebrate Senator Oluremi Tinubu today and always for her kindness, advocacy for social justice, and philanthropic endeavours,” the release further read.
The governor described the First Lady as “our Amazon” and prayed for her continued strength and good health.
“As our Amazon, Senator Oluremi Tinubu turns 65, I pray for God’s continued guidance and good health for her.
“God will give her more strength and grace to render more service to humanity and our dear country, Nigeria,” he prayed.
