…Lauds support for women, vulnerable Nigerians

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, on Monday, congratulated Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 66th birthday, commending her efforts to improve the welfare of women, children and other vulnerable Nigerians.

Alli, in a congratulatory message, described the First Lady as a woman of grace, compassion, courage and commitment to national development.

He said Oluremi Tinubu’s years in public service demonstrated that leadership was not merely about occupying positions but about using public office to improve lives and promote the welfare of vulnerable members of society.

The APC candidate acknowledged the Renewed Hope Initiative of the First Lady, which he said had provided interventions in areas including education, healthcare and support for disadvantaged Nigerians.

“On behalf of my family, the people of Oyo State and the entire APC family in the state, I heartily congratulate our mother, leader and First Lady of Nigeria, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, on attaining the remarkable age of 66.

“Your life is a testament to the virtues of service, compassion, resilience and unwavering commitment to humanity.

“All Nigerians can see the passion with which you have championed initiatives aimed at improving the lives of women, children and other vulnerable members of society,” he said.

Alli also commended the First Lady’s advocacy for women and girls, saying her public service record, including her tenure as a three-term senator, had contributed to discussions on inclusive development.

He said her contributions to nation-building had extended beyond political, ethnic and religious considerations.

“Your Excellency, your contributions to nation-building have transcended political, ethnic and religious boundaries.

“You have consistently demonstrated that compassion and service to humanity remain among the highest responsibilities of leadership,” Alli said.

The APC candidate also hailed the First Lady for her support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and her emphasis on family, faith and service.

He prayed that God would grant her many more years in good health, wisdom, strength and fulfilment to continue her service to Nigeria and humanity.

“May this new chapter bring you greater grace, renewed strength and abundant blessings.

“May God continue to strengthen you and grant you the wisdom and courage to remain a source of hope and inspiration to millions of Nigerians.

“Happy 66th birthday, Your Excellency. Nigeria is grateful for your service, compassion and dedication,” he said.
