Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has praised the resilience, courage, sacrifice, and achievements of women across Nigeria and around the world as part of the 2026 Mother’s Day celebration.
In a message released to mark the occasion, she 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,” she 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.
“To all mothers who nurture, love and shape our families, you are the heroes of our nation.”
The First Lady commended mothers for their dedication to nurturing families and encouraged them to continue guiding their children with wisdom and strength.
“I implore our mothers to continue to teach and guide the children, passing down wisdom and strength that will benefit future generations,” she said.
She also prayed that mothers would live long enough to enjoy the fruits of their labour through their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Mother’s Day is celebrated in honour of mothers, motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.
