Wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, has enjoined Nigerians to jettison primordial sentiments and join hands with her husband to create an atmosphere where every Nigerian can thrive.
The First Lady also welcomed Abuja’s first baby of the year, Favour Stephen Odion, by 12:27 am at the Asokoro District Hospital, Abuja. She offered post-natal care and products to the baby girl born into the family of Mr Odion Oyinbo and Mrs Chioma Odion. The baby weighed 3.6kg.
In a message, yesterday, tagged ‘2025: A year of Prosperity and Abundance’ made available to newsmen, Mrs Tinubu urged the citizens to stand together to build the country, regardless of where they come from or what language they speak.
She stated, “I assure you all that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is truly committed to and is already undertaking deepening reforms that will unlock our nation’s economic potential.Let us stand together, lifting each other and ensuring no one is left behind.
“As we journey through 2025, let us rise above our differences and rebuild the bridges that connect us – bridges of love, respect and understanding. It is a year to invest in one another, to nurture our youth and protect the dignity of our elders, to create a country where every Nigerian can thrive, regardless of where they are born, what they believe or what language they speak.”
While praying to God to bless the country, she said, “Together, we can build the Nigeria we all desire. Together, we will.
“I express my heartfelt gratitude to God Almighty, with great hope, and an assurance in the promises for our great nation.”
MRS Tinubu also received other babies born in the Abuja hospital, including the first baby boy of the year, Zimchikachim Ejiofor, born to the family of Mr and Mrs Ejiofor Nworie at about 7.14 a.m. weighing 3kg. She welcomed the children born on New Year’s Day in the FCT with baby gifts, including post-natal care products, nutritional supplies and cash.
The First Lady, who was represented by the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, prayed to God to protect the children, wishing them long life, good health and prosperity.
While congratulating mothers of the newborns, the First Lady counselled them on the need for proper care for the babies in respect of exclusive breastfeeding, immunisation and timely post-natal care, saying, “Good enough, this (Asokoro General Hospital) is closer to my house; I am sure, for the post-natal, they are going to take good care of you.”
Earlier, the acting Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, Dr Rosemary Nwokorie, while welcoming the First Lady, commended the President Bola Tinubu-led administration for its unwavering commitment to transforming the nation’s health sector, with a view to improving healthcare services for Nigerians.
Nwokorie also applauded the First Lady and wife of the Vice President for creating various intervention programmes, especially the Renewed Hope Initiative towards assisting vulnerable Nigerians, especially women and children in the country.
