This morning, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has penned a deeply emotional and heartfelt birthday tribute to his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as she celebrated her 65th birthday. In a message shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the President honoured not just the love of his life but also a woman whose “quiet strength and enduring grace” have been his “steadying anchor.” He reflected on their journey together through seasons of struggle, political exile, and leadership responsibilities, praising her dignity, patience, and unwavering devotion. Describing her as more than a wife, he called her his confidant, counsellor, and the “steady flame illuminating my path,” emphasizing how her compassion and faith have been a guiding light for their family and the nation.

The President also acknowledged the often unseen sacrifices made by the First Lady, stating that Nigeria owes her more than many will ever know. He noted that she served the country not from the podium but from the heart of their home, carrying burdens without complaint. As her husband, he expressed gratitude to God for her life, health, and love; as Nigeria’s President, he saluted her as a First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions across the land. The touching message, which has garnered over 80,000 likes and thousands of retweets, concludes with a blessing for her future years, wishing her joy, peace, and the fulfilment she richly deserves.
