The Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, has said she was always proud to call Nigeria’s First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu mother because of all she had done for her in politics.
“She has remained a mentor to me and many other women who are playing positive roles in Lagos and across the country,” Miranda (APC-Apapa 1) said while speaking at the House of Assembly complex in Ikeja on Friday.

“She constantly leads the way for us all and shows how women can become role models in society.
“I am proud that she is our role model and I want to thank her on behalf of Nigerians for all that she does for the people reaching the downtrodden, the challenged and needy.
“I want to thank her for all that she has done for the different states ” Meranda added.
