First Lady Urges Female Lawmakers To Unite Across Party Lines  

First Lady, Mrs Remi Tinubu, has advised female members of the National Assembly to remain faithful to their constituents and work together regardless of party affiliations.

She disclosed this on Thursday when female Senators and members of the House of Representatives paid her a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The First Lady while expressing her delight at the visit especially as she served at the Senate in the last 12 years, urged the women to set aside their differences and work together for the betterment of their constituents and the nation at large.

She said, “you are the women here at the National Assembly for the masses and you should not take this for granted.

“As a former Lawmaker, I advise you to please work together, irrespective of party affiliation because the success of the nation depends on this.”

The First Lady, in an statement by her media aide, Busola Kukoyi, advised the women to be teachable, learn new things and try those new things as this would give them an advantage in the discharge of their responsibilities as Lawmakers and women in particular.

She added, “When men are in the position of power, they do not see gender, so you as women should not fight a man who does not see gender when fighting for power.”

She urged the women not to lose their femininity in the execution of their duties.

She prayed victory for the female Lawmakers who have pending election court cases.

In her remarks at the event, the representatives of the Female National Assembly members, Hon. Kafilat Ogbara, representing Kosofe Federal Constituency of Lagos State, said the visit was to congratulate the First Lady on the success of the 2023 general election that brought President Bola Tinubu  and Senator Kasshim Shettima into office.

The Female National Assembly Members pledged their supports and cooperation to the course of nation building and also to lend a hand of fellowship whenever the need arises for the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Those who visited the First Lady were three Senators and 15 members of the House of Representatives.
