Archbishop Okoh expressed warm wishes for the First Lady’s continued health, happiness, and success, acknowledging her commitment to important social causes that affect the lives of everyday Nigerians. He specifically noted her contributions to agriculture, women empowerment, education, healthcare, and philanthropy, stating that her efforts in these areas have been significant and impactful.
In the statement, Okoh emphasized Mrs. Tinubu’s role as a strong advocate for the marginalized and her deep understanding of the challenges facing the nation. He highlighted how her work in key sectors reflects a genuine concern for improving the lives of Nigerians, especially those who are most vulnerable.
The message reads, “The national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) joins in celebrating the birthday of Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu. On this special occasion, we extend our heartfelt wishes for her continued health, happiness, and success in her role as a leader and advocate for the people of Nigeria”.
“As First Lady, Mrs. Tinubu has shown a strong commitment to various social causes, particularly in agriculture, women’s empowerment, education, healthcare, and philanthropy. Her efforts in these critical sectors are commendable and reflect a deep understanding of the challenges facing our nation”.
