Funke Adesiyan, who was last October appointed Personal Assistant to the First Lady on Domestic and Social Events, wrote a lengthy note in honour of her principal.

“Today and everyday I celebrate an Amazon, my Mum, the First Lady and mother of the Nation on your birthday,” she began.

“Your virtues, noble deeds and solace to the downtrodden couple, your zeal and determination for the right of women, children and the vulnerable in our society stands you out mummy.

“You are a woman who walks the talk and you cheer diligence when you see one. I invite all women and children to join me to celebrate the advocate of a better Nigeria, our Goggo of Africa!”
