First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians not to rely on the government to do everything.
The first lady stated this on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, while hosting the National Executives of the National Council for Women Societies (NCWS) in her office at the State House, Abuja.
She said, “We cannot wait for the government to do everything. We must lend a helping hand to everyone around us,” she said.
Tinubu therefore urged all women to ensure youths are guided to follow the path of good values and morals while emphasizing the need for all women to pursue a way to take the youth out of the clutches of the negative aspects of social media.
Speaking at the event, Lau said the NCWS would partner with the first lady on her Renewed Hope Initiative pet project.
Meanwhile, former First Lady Patience Jonathan visited Mrs. Tinubu yesterday and promised her support to achieve the goals of assisting the needy in society.
She said it was imperative for her, as a former first lady, to also support and encourage Mrs. Tinubu on things that would move the nation forward.
“You’re one of the women that I looked forward to, because you can make Nigerian women proud. I’m here to encourage and support you because we’re one country and our country must move forward.
“Twenty-four hours, I’m with you; call me anytime, any day; I’ll work with you for the country to move forward and to be better because it’s our country; we have no other place to go.
“When we talk about the Presidency, we have come and gone; it is your turn. We who left must support you to achieve what you are here for, like we have, so that Nigeria will move forward.
“I use this opportunity to plead with the women of this country to support this government; she carried us along when she was a governor’s wife. Now that she is a first lady, the sky is her limit,” she said.
