Oluremi Tinubu preaches unity in Warri, gets Utukpa-Oritse title

The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has called for more unity stressing that such will bring prosperity in the country.

Mrs. Tinubu said this on Thursday while speaking during her home coming to Warri Kingdom in Delta State where she was received by the paramount ruler of the Kingdom, Olu of Warri Ogiame Atunwatse III.

According to her spokesperson, Busola Kikoyi, the First Lady specifically appealed to the people of the kingdom to come together, irrespective of their differences.

“the bible tells us in Psalm 133 verse 1 to 3 that it is pleasant to dwell together in unity, for there is where God commanded blessings”.

She assured the people who turned out in their numbers of continued support and commitment of government, noting that the state governor had been doing a good job so far in the State.

Mrs. Tinubu once again, on behalf of the Renewed Hope Initiative RHI donated a sum of fifty million naira to 1000 women petty traders.

Earlier, the State Governor Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori explained that the First Lady who had visited the state 3 times, twice when he was still in another political party and now when he had crossed over to APC, had shown tremendous love and sincerity in the care of Nigerians by this.

“She has a large heart and those visits where she flagged off the women petty traders empowerment and the launch of the free to shine campaign encouraged me to make up my mind. May God continue to empower you to continue to put smiles on the faces of more Nigerians,” he said

The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atunwatse III in his remarks said by doing away with past hurts and grievances, there would be peace, progress and prosperity.

The monarch added that the kingdom was proud of the First Lady of Nigeria, saying “We are proud of who you are, who you have become. Our women know how to take very good care of their husbands. Thank you for being a very good example to our girls and women”.

Mrs. Tinubu whose mother hails from Warri in Delta State was conferred with the traditional title of Utukpa-Oritse of Warri Kingdom alias Ugbone meaning the Light of God.
