The First Lady of Nigeria, Sen. Remi Tinubu has encouraged female lawmakers at the National Assembly to take responsibility in playing their constituent roles.
Senator Remi who made the disclosure when Female Senators and Members of the House of Representatives paid a courtesy visit to her in Abuja on Wednesday, tasked the female National Assembly Members to remain faithful to their constituents.
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 admonised 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.
“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”.
Senator Remi who was a member of the Red Chamber for about 12 years urged the women not to lose their femininity in the execution of their duties.
She prayed victory for the female Lawmakers who have pending court cases.
The representatives of the Female National Assembly members, Hon Kafilat Ogbara representing Kosofe Federal Constituency in Lagos State revealed that the visit was to congratulate the First Lady on the success of the 2023 general elections that brought into office, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kasshim Shettima.
The Lawmakers expressed their loyalty in building a democratic nation and to lend a hand of fellowship whenever the need arises for the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
