In a message released on Sunday to commemorate Mother’s Day, Tinubu described mothers as the silent architects of the nation’s future and the enduring heartbeat of every home.

“Today, I honour and celebrate every mother across Nigeria. Your love, care and sacrifices do not go unnoticed,” the First Lady said.

“Beyond the big sacrifices, it is the small, quiet moments that truly define a mother’s love. On this special day, we carry those moments in our hearts and say thank you for the warmth and love you selflessly give.”

Oluremi Tinubu said mothers play a powerful role in shaping families and communities, noting that their influence remains vital to the nation’s social and moral development.

“To all mothers who nurture, love and shape our families, you are the heroes of our nation,” she added.

The First Lady also encouraged mothers to continue guiding their children and passing down values that will strengthen future generations.

“I implore our mothers to continue to teach and guide the children, passing down wisdom and strength that will benefit future generations,” Tinubu said.

“May we all live to enjoy the fruits of our labour over our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”

Mother’s Day is observed in many parts of the world to honour mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds, as well as the profound influence women have within families and society.
