The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has extolled the legacy of Late industrialist, Chief Adekunle Ojora, as a devout muslim, who left a legacy of consistently promoting religious harmony in the country.

The First Lady was received by daughter of the deceased, Dr Toyin Saraki and her husband, former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki
“You have always been in my mind and that of the President. We cannot forget him. He was always there with us as a family. This is also my family”.
“We will miss him, his wise counsel, support and great role he played in times past,” she said.
On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and herself, the First Lady offered words of comfort to the widow of the deceased, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, who she commended for standing strong as the matriarch of the family.
“Your relationship as a couple was an inspiration to many of us. We see you and him and many wish to have that sort of bond,” the First Lady said.
Recalling her several encounters with the deceased at church services, despite being a devout muslim, Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the family has a lot to be proud of in the legacies of the late Otunba of Lagos, who not only distinguished himself as an industrialist but also as a promoter of religious harmony in words and deeds.
