Nigeria First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has advised female senators and members of the House of Representatives to remain faithful to their constituents.
She made the remarks when female Senators and Members of the House of Representatives paid her a courtesy call in Abuja.
The First Lady served at the Senate in the last twelve years.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the First Lady, Busola Kukoyi.
Senator Oluremi 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 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.
Senator Oluremi said, “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 and prayed for victory for the female lawmakers who have pending court cases.
In her remarks, 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 elections that brought into office her husband, President Bola Tinubu and Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima.
The Female National Assembly Members pledged their support and cooperation to the course of nation-building and also to lend a hand of fellowship whenever the need arises for the First Lady.
Those who visited the First Lady were three Senators and fifteen members of the House of Representatives.
