His post reads
‘’Oluremi
mi, Senator Oluremi Tinubu
I WOULD
CHOOSE THE SAME ROAD THAT LED ME TO YOU
Today, I
celebrate the woman who has walked beside me with patience, grace and uncommon
courage.
Àwọn àgbà sọ
pé, “Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀.” A good wife is her husband’s crown. The Book
of Proverbs, which you know far better than I do, also speaks eloquently of the
worth of a virtuous woman.
Marriage
You have
given these words true meaning in my life. You have stood by my side through
every season.
The burdens
that were mine to bear often found their way onto your shoulders. The thoughts
I could not put into words somehow found their way to you.
In difficult
times, when the future was uncertain, you stayed calm beside me and prayed with
me.
Through all
these years, you have remained the one who truly understands me.
More often
than not, you sense when I need counsel before I ask. There have been nights
when your presence alone was counsel enough.
I call you
my truest friend and confidante because you speak the truth plainly, even on
the days I would rather not hear it.
After a
demanding day, you wait until we are alone before telling me what I need to
hear. I have always cherished you for that honesty.
Our home
bears the lasting imprint of your devotion. Our children and grandchildren have
grown beneath the shelter of your prayers. They carry your values of faith and
kindness wherever life takes them.
Nigerians
know you for your compassion, kindness, generosity of spirit and steadfast
faith. I have watched you touch lives quietly and consistently, offering hope
and support to those in need.
From the New
Era Foundation during our years in the saddle in Lagos to the Renewed Hope
Initiative today, your care has reached many young boys and girls, widows,
elderly citizens, and women farmers across the country.
Those
affected by tuberculosis or any disease at all have found in you a
compassionate advocate and a determined champion.
I know the
prayers you offer for people whose names you may never know. I also know many
whom you have helped without ever meeting them. For you, compassion has never
recognised the boundaries of tribe, region or religion.''
