The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has explained why his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, failed to attend the 12th colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano State
According to the former Lagos State Governor, Oluremi was absent at the colloquium because she was dealing with guests at his Bourdillon residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
Oluremi is currently a senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District at the Nigerian National Assembly.
“My wife is dealing with the crowd now in Bourdillon and she is probably not even watching (online) but without her permission, I couldn’t be here, without her collaboration, I won’t have peace to be standing here before you. Very gracious woman,” Tinubu said.
The colloquium held in Kano was themed, ‘Our Common Bond, Our Common Wealth: The Imperative Of National Cohesion For Growth And Prosperity’.
The event was virtually attended by President Muhammadu Buhari who chaired the occasion and restated the essence of a One Nigeria.
The colloquium was also virtually attended by the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila; amongst others, whose itineraries were disrupted by poor weather from the Abuja airport to the Kano airport.
