The All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday, praising her as a steadfast pillar of support to President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement on Sunday, signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC noted that beyond her role as wife and mother, Senator Tinubu had stood firmly beside her husband from his pro-democracy activism days, through his tenure as Lagos State governor, and now as President of Nigeria.
“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 partly read.
The party also described her as a devoted Christian, seasoned public servant, philanthropist, and astute politician who has impacted many lives through initiatives such as the Renewed Hope Initiative and the New Era Foundation.
According to the APC, these platforms have supported scholarships, healthcare services, empowerment programmes for women and youths, as well as welfare assistance for senior citizens, widows, and vulnerable groups.
The statement further quoted the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, along with members of the National Working Committee and millions of party members nationwide, as joining 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,” the statement added.
Earlier, President Tinubu also marked his wife’s 65th birthday, describing her as his confidant, counsellor, and steady anchor through decades of political and personal challenges.
