Cross River State governor, Bassey Otu has felicitated with the First Lady, Remi Tinubu on her 65th birthday, describing her as “a rare jewel and shining light in Nigeria’s crown.”

In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Linus Obogo, the Governor said Mrs. Tinubu’s 65 years is not merely the passage of time but ” a radiant tapestry woven with devotion to family, nation, and humanity.”

‎Governor Otu described Remi Tinubu as “a woman of elegance, compassion, and enduring strength, whose life continues to illuminate countless paths,” likening her to “a blossoming rose, exuding the fragrance of hope, faith, and unwavering service, virtues that have endeared her to millions of Nigerians.”

He said: “Today, we salute not just the First Lady, but a mother of immeasurable grace, a symbol of fortitude, and a beacon of virtuous womanhood.”

He added that her journey so far has been steeped in courage, humility, and love, all of which resonate in her public and private service.
