File: The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu

Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin has said God rewarded Oluremi Tinubu’s punctuality and commitment to legislative duties during her time in the Senate by making her Nigeria’s First Lady.

Barau made the remark on Tuesday during plenary while supporting a proposal that senators’ attendance be taken at the end of each sitting to recognise lawmakers who remain in the chamber until adjournment.

According to him, dedication to legislative work attracts rewards not only from the Senate leadership but also from God.

He said, “Let me even say one thing, apart from being compensated by colleagues or by the leadership, God also compensates you, rewards you for what you are doing.
