First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Remi Tinubu, says her husband, President Bola Tinubu, granted her freedom to take independent decisions on political issues throughout her 12 years in the Senate.
Mrs Tinubu, who represents Lagos Central in the 7th, 8th and 9th Senate, said she always ran to her husband for advice whenever she was confused and needed to take critical decisions about her political career.
The First Lady, a three-term senator, said this on Saturday while giving her remarks at the valedictory session to mark the end of the ninth Senate.
She was also a member of the seventh senate (2011-2015) and eight Senate (2015-2019).
“My thanks will go to my husband for giving me the support … and he gives me little advice when I seek it.
“He gave me the freedom to be myself and to be able to make the contributions I felt were necessary for our people, especially the women and our youths.
“I did all that was required of every legislator, motions, bills, even some bills that were assented to as law. I can only just be grateful to God for what He has done and for the people I met here even though we might not understand each other, but we used to relate with each other with respect, and I believe that we can build a nation that even our young ones will be proud of,” she said.
