She noted that her mother was guided by love and a sense of duty to defend her husband’s mandate and work with others to restore democracy.
“She was guided both by love and a sense of duty to defend her husband’s mandate and to work with many across the country for the restoration of democracy,” Hafsat stated.
Hafsat thanked President Tinubu for deeming her mother worthy of this recognition and prayed that the conferment of the award would strengthen the collective resolve to respond to calls for national service.
“May the conferment of this award strengthen our collective resolve to respond to the calls for national service,” she said.
