‘Nigeria lucky to have you’ — Omo-Agege praises Oluremi Tinubu at 63

Ovie Omo-Agege, former deputy senate president, has described Oluremi Tinubu, the first lady, as a woman equipped for the challenges of her office.

In a statement issued on Thursday by Sunny Areh, media adviser to the former deputy senate president, to felicitate with the wife of the president on the occasion of her 63rd birthday anniversary, Omo-Agege said her political acumen and management capacity can only be compared to those of Hilary Clinton, one-time American first lady, “who was a pillar of support for her husband, President Bill Clinton”.

Omo-Agege, who is also the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta state, noted that the nation is lucky to have the first lady as her political experience will be useful in building the country.

“From her sterling political consciousness and active role while President Tinubu was Lagos governor to becoming a federal lawmaker in Nigeria’s apex legislative chamber, the senate, our First Lady garnered invaluable experience that Nigeria sorely needs as the president squares up to the task of returning the country to the path of sustainable growth,” Omo-Agege said.

“Our country is lucky to have Senator Oluremi Tinubu as First Lady at this crucial time of our political and economic trajectory. She represents strength, visionary leadership, greatness and fight for democracy.”
