In recognition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's contribution to supporting and uplifting others, the Progressive Sisters' Network (PSN), led by Rinsola Abiola, on Sunday presented the APC presidential candidate with the Icon of Human Development Award, thus making him the first recipient of an award from the organisation. 


The dinner event, tagged "Meet the Mentor", was hosted by Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who testified to Asiwaju's immense contributions to the growth of his public service career. At the event, the Speaker also launched the national door-to-door women's campaign alongside the APC National Women Leader, Dr. Betta Edu. 


PSN, being a women led and focused support group of the APC, had testimonials from women who had benefitted from Asiwaju's leadership and guidance, as they aimed to convince women especially that Asiwaju is the right candidate for the women folk.


The dinner, which was earlier slated for Friday, February 10, later reconvened on Sunday, February 13 in line with Asiwaju's stated wish, as he had to leave the venue on Friday to attend a meeting with the president. 


Both dinners were well attended by government officials and leaders of the party's various organs, particularly women within the progressive fold.


Speaking at the event, Asiwaju described Rinsola, the National Coordinator of PSN, as "a thinker and a doer" and commended her ability and that of members of her group to pull off yet another successful event within such a short space of time. 


He went on to commend her leadership skills, stating that teamship is a key part of leadership. He also spoke at length regarding Nigeria's challenges and stated that with commitment and unity of purpose, Nigeria's challenges are surmountable.


Those who spoke at the event include Senator Oluremi Tinubu (represented by Dr. Asabe Vilita Bashir), H.E. Amb. (Dr.) Olufolake Abdulrazaq (First Lady of Kwara State), Dr. Betta Edu (APC National Women Leader), Ajuri Ngelale (Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs) and Iyaloja Oluwatoyin Badmus (President, Asiwaju Women Cooperative Society). 


Chief Mrs. Lola Abiola-Edewor, who once served for two terms in the House of Representatives as part of the Lagos State delegation, spoke on Asiwaju's gender sensitivity and his leadership and problem solving skills. Mrs. Chioma Ogu and Maryam Busari-Obadina spoke as beneficiaries of policies introduced during his time as governor, namely the payment of WAEC fees and the One-Day Governor initiative. 


The event, which was anchored by Morayo Afolabi-Brown, had many of Asiwaju's mentees in the public and private sectors present.
