President Bola Tinubu has celebrated his wife, Senator Oluremi, who turned 65 years old on Sunday.
The president, in a letter to his wife, said Nigeria owes the First Lady more than many people realise.
Describing her as his confidant and counsellor, Tinubu said Oluremi’s role goes beyond being a wife in his life.
He recalled her faith in him during his long years of struggle and political exile, adding that Oluremi stood by him firmly.
“You are more than my wife. You are my confidant, counsellor, and the steady flame illuminating my path. In you, our children and grandchildren see the example of compassion and faith, and in you, our nation sees the true strength of womanhood; resolute yet tender, humble yet unshakably firm.
“Nigeria owes you more than many will ever know. In every sacrifice you made quietly, in every burden you carried without complaint, you have served this country as surely as I have, not from the podium, but from the heart of our home.
“Today, as your husband, I thank God for your life, health, and unwavering love. As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land. And as your lifelong companion, I say that I love you more than ever, and am blessed every day by your presence. Your love is a treasure I hold dear,” Tinubu wrote.
