Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu, shared a message of hope and positivity during her Christmas address on Saturday.
Hosting an elaborate Christmas party for the children of Nana Berry Orphanage in Abuja, the first lady expressed her optimism for the upcoming year.
“As we go into the year 2024, our message should be how to transform the lives of the young ones,” Senator Tinubu said.
Advising parents, she encouraged them to avoid discussing poverty in front of their children, highlighting that Nigeria is not a poor nation.
“The wealthy ones should also take care of the poor ones and make them wealthy; that is all it takes,” she added.
Senator Tinubu addressed the issue of poverty, noting that it has been taken out of context and is negatively impacting the youth.
“We have to give them hope and show them the positive life. We are entering a glorious year, and those who believe that it is going to be glorious will enjoy it,” she affirmed.
During the Christmas party, Senator Tinubu engaged with the children, sharing a Bible story and emphasising the importance of parents instilling good morals in their wards.
“Parents are supposed to tell the children Christmas stories; that is what we all grow up with,” she remarked, urging a shift in the narrative of what Christmas represents in the State House.
