By Emmanuel Kwada

‎Prominent political figure and aspiring lawmaker Tom Garba has publicly lauded Hon. Munnirat Suleiman Tanimu, describing her as a trailblazing “iron lady” and one of Lere’s most brilliant political minds, in a heartfelt birthday tribute released today.

‎In a statement marking the birthday of the Majority Leader of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Garba celebrated Hon. Munnirat Suleiman Tanimu who represents Lere East Constituency. He highlighted her transformative impact on Lere East and Kaduna State as a whole.

‎

‎”On this day I celebrate my political ally, the iron lady changing the trajectory of Lere East and Kaduna at large,” Garba stated.

‎He praised her as “one of the political brains Lere has been fortunate to have in recent times,” calling her a “political heroine and a Lioness” who is actively shaping progress through structural laws, bills, and legislation benefiting not only the people of Lere but the entire state.

‎Hon. Munnirat Suleiman Tanimu holds a historic position as the first female Majority Leader in the history of the Kaduna State House of Assembly and across Nigeria’s North-West region.

‎She is also the sole female representative in the current Kaduna Assembly and the only serving female lawmaker from the North-West zone.

‎Widely recognized for her entrepreneurship, humanitarian efforts, and barrier-breaking leadership, she has earned accolades including “Zinariyar Lere” (the “Gold of Lere”) among her constituents.

‎Garba, who has been gaining significant grassroots support in Lere West as a potential candidate for the Kaduna State House of Assembly in the 2027 elections, expressed his admiration for her work and outlined shared political aspirations.

‎”I aspire to represent Lere West, joining her to be co-servants to the good people of Lere in supporting Gov. Uba Sani, who is doing well in serving the whole state,” he said.

‎”This will no doubt bring meaningful development to our respective constituencies.”

‎The tribute underscores the growing alliance between the two figures from Lere’s neighboring constituencies and reflects broader enthusiasm for collaborative governance under Governor Uba Sani’s administration.

‎Garba’s statement has resonated among supporters in Lere, where calls for his representation in the Assembly continue to build momentum.

‎Hon. Munnirat Suleiman Tanimu’s tenure has been marked by her commitment to inclusive leadership, women’s empowerment in politics, and legislative contributions aimed at advancing Kaduna State’s development agenda.

‎As celebrations continue for her special day, the message from Tom Garba highlights the positive cross-constituency solidarity shaping the future of Lere and Kaduna politics.
