Nigerian First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, has urged the Muslim faithful to allow purity and godliness to go beyond Ramadan period.

Senator Tinubu gave this advice Tuesday, April 2, 2024, in the Banquet hall during Iftar (breaking of Ramadan fast), in the State House, Abuja, FCT.

Busola Kukoyi, Senior Special Assistant to the First Lady on Media stated    she organised the event for Federal legislators, former first ladies, governors wives, and others.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu also urged the women to support one another in order to get Nigeria fully back on track.

She restated the West African country would be greater, noting that citizens would be happy once there is love, peace and harmony.

According to her, the various programmes by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are all on track, and the results are beginning to be evident.

The First Lady averred: “This is a very solemn time, the time that we  are supposed to reflect and also ask God for the forgivenes where we have erred and do better.

“This time should not just end after 30-day fasting and prayers, we should take it into the way Nigeria is going to be at the horizon.

“Nigeria is on the path of greatness, things cannot be done the same way, it used to be, we have to do whatever it takes to turn things around.”

In her earlier remarks at the event, Hajia Nana Shettima, wife of Vice President Kashim Shettima, appreciated the First Lady for all she has done for the country.

Hajia Shettima also urged all the women to support the current government, and programmes of the First Lady through the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).

The Vice President’s wife encouraged women to remember Nigeria in their prayers, especially in these last 10 days of Ramadan.

Speaking at the forum, Prof. Dr. Marian Lemu, Guest Lecturer, advised the women to remember that God created humans equal.

She urged them to not forget all they learnt during Ramadan, and continue in that line.

According to Hajia Shettima, living in love, piety, humility and tolerance will enhance the lives of Nigerians.

Prayers were offered for the nation, the President and the world, the statement noted.
