President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Sunday shifted focus from politics to something more personal as he marked a special occasion with a heartfelt message.
In a post shared on X, the President directed his words to none other than his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who turned 65.
“You are more than my wife. You are my confidant, counsellor, and the steady flame illuminating my path. In you, our children and grandchildren see the example of compassion and faith, and in you, our nation sees the true strength of womanhood; resolute yet tender, humble yet unshakably firm,” he wrote.
Tinubu went on to praise her resilience, devotion, and sacrifices, stressing that she has silently served Nigeria through her support for him.
“In every sacrifice you made quietly, in every burden you carried without complaint, you have served this country as surely as I have, not from the podium, but from the heart of our home,” he added.
Grateful for her love and support, the President concluded with words that revealed the depth of his affection:
“Today, as your husband, I thank God for your life, health, and unwavering love. As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land. And as your lifelong companion, I say that I love you more than ever, and am blessed every day by your presence.”
He closed his tribute by wishing her joy, peace, and fulfilment in the years ahead.
