The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the country’s future depends on the willingness of the people to work together irrespective of differences in religion and region.
Mrs. Tinubu spoke on at the Leadership Annual Conference and Award 2025 in Abuja.
The conference was organised under the theme “Political Stability and Sustainable Development in Africa in an Increasingly Unstable Global System: A Roadmap for Nigeria.”
She was honoured by the Leadership Newspaper.
Mrs. Tinubu said:“The future of our nation depends on our willingness to work together across cultural and religious differences for the good of all. For a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
On the award, she said “I do not take this honour alone.
“This award is for all those who have helped me along the way , especially women, young people and community leaders who work tirelessly every day to uplift others and ignite hope in our nation.
“I dedicate this award to every citizen who believes that selfless service and humanness can truly change lives.”
She also commended the organisers and the Chairman of Leadership Newspaper, Mrs. Zainab Nda-Isaiah, for carrying on the legacy of the late husband, saying “I believe that looking down today, he would be proud of you for keeping the fire of this organisation burning.”
She commended Dr. Amina Mohammed on her reflections, saying her “timely insight offers practical guidance and renews clarity on the choices before us as a nation.”
