Mrs Tinubu represented Lagos Central Senatorial District at the 7th, 8th and 9th sessions of the Senate spanning 12 years.
I speak from my mouth to you how grateful I am. I never knew I would ever be in this place. I remember the first time I started this journey, I had press conference , a press man asked me why don’t you start from, why did you want to go to the Senate but you know he is one of those after my first term who came back and commended me, we are friends today, when I see him , we will shake hands.
At the time , I even thought that let me retire and begin to face my family because serving the nation takes a lot of sacrifice and it starts with a sacrifice from your home, your children, even your better half. It takes a lot of sacrifice to want to give time to serve the nation. At the same it’s a great privilege for all of us that are here.
My thanks will go to my husband for even giving me the support …and he gives me little advise when I seek for it but he gave me the freedom to be myself and to be able to make the contributions I felt were necessary for our people especially the women and our youths and I believed that God almighty uses weak things to …. and one of those weak things God used to do exploit in this hallowed chamber.
