Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, vice president Kashim Shettima and members of the 9th Assembly, today, June 10 attended the valedictory session.
While Shettima represented Borno Central in the Assembly before being elected as Vice President, Mrs Tinubu represented Lagos Central Senatorial district.
Shettima was elected into the Senate for the first time in 2019, after his tenure as Borno State governor.
Mrs Tinubu was a three-term senator. At the valedictory session, the outgoing Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, presented certificates to each member of the house.
The ninth Senate was inaugurated on 11 June, 2019 for a four-year tenure.
Recalling her journey as a 3-term Senator, Mrs Tinubu narrated how a journalist suggested at the time she signified interest to contest, that she start with the House of Assembly.
For her, it’s been a humbling experience and certainly a difficult one combining family and active politics.
