Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin has said that God rewarded Oluremi Tinubu’s punctuality and commitment to legislative duties during her time in the Senate by making her Nigeria’s First Lady. He recently made the remark during plenary while supporting a proposal that senators’ attendance be taken at the end of each sitting to recognise lawmakers who remain in the chamber until adjournment.
According to him, dedication to legislative work attracts rewards not only from the Senate leadership but also from God.
He concluded by urging lawmakers to take their legislative responsibilities seriously, stressing that they were elected to serve Nigerians.
His words, “Let me even say one thing, apart from being compensated by colleagues or by the leadership, God also compensates you, rewards you for what you are doing.
I will give you a good example. The current first lady, she used to be the number one person, first person that always came to this senate.
When she was in the Senate, the most punctual – very punctual – and she would stay throughout the session.
She would come here before any other person. So, you see, God has rewarded her with the position of first lady.”
