Despite reports of a frosty relationship between Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, the nation’s First Lady publicly celebrated Osun’s First Lady, Titilola Adeleke, on her 60th birthday.

In a warm congratulatory message posted online, Oluremi Tinubu said she joined Governor Adeleke, the Adeleke family and well-wishers in celebrating Titilola Adeleke on her milestone birthday.

She praised her for her commitment to improving the lives of Osun residents through the Renewed Hope Initiative, noting that her outreach programmes had continued to touch many families across the state.

The First Lady prayed that the celebrant’s new age would bring joy, peace and divine health, adding that she wished her many more fulfilling years.
