Tendai Rupapa in ABUJA, Nigeria
NIGERIAN First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu says she looks up to First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa as a mentor due to her philanthropic works which she has described as highly commendable and inspiring.
The Nigerian First Lady spoke about how she is new in the office and her desire to learn from others like Dr Mnangagwa. She also spoke about her trip to Zimbabwe after being invited by Amai Mnangagwa. The meeting mainly focused on the need to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV to foster healthy future generations. I am happy to announce that I will be doing the same with OIC. These are things I saw my sister doing and today I am glad she is here," Sen Tinubu said."The support I am getting from all the mothers of Africa is overwhelming for me. This is not going to be the last. The coming together of Mothers of Africa is very crucial and it's we women that can do that.
"When I joined OAFLAD and was later elected the vice president of the organisation, I told my sisters that it was my wish for African First Ladies to visit each other in our countries so that we get to learn from each other and get to know who is doing what and back home you go and do what your sister is doing.
"As members of OAFLAD, new and old members, we should hold each other's hand for continuity. There should be continuity of work that was started by those who were there before remember we are serving the same people of the same nation so if one does what she does and her tenure ends, it means all the efforts end there.
