All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, on Monday,
explained that his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, was not present at the 12th colloquium
to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano State because she was dealing with
guests at his Bourdillon residence in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
Oluremi is the former first lady of Lagos State and
currently a senator representing Lagos Central Senatorial District at the
Nigerian National Assembly.
The APC stalwart said, “My wife is probably dealing with the crowd at Bourdillon but without her permission, I won’t be here.”
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 the President, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who chaired the occasion and restated the
essence of a One Nigeria.
The colloquium was also virtually attended by the
Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo; House of Representatives Speaker, Femi
Gbajabiamila; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; amongst others, whose itineraries
were disrupted by poor weather from the Abuja airport to the Kano airport.
Tinubu, who appreciated his host and Kano State governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje, said by hosting the event in the north-west state, he and
the governor have demonstrated that a firm Nigeria is possible, going forward.
