In a heartfelt tribute marking a milestone birthday, President Bola Tinubu celebrated his wife and First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as she turned 65. The President, who also described her as the love of his life and his steadying anchor, paid glowing tribute to the unwavering support and strength she has shown throughout their journey together.
In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he addressed Oluremi Tinubu with deep affection and respect, saying:
“Oluremi Mi, as you celebrate your 65th birthday today, I honour not only the love of my life, but also a woman whose quiet strength and enduring grace have been my steadying anchor. Through every season, from the long years of struggle and political exile, to leadership responsibilities, you have stood firmly by my side with dignity, patience, and devotion that words can scarcely express.”
The President went on to emphasize the multifaceted role she plays in his life and in the lives of their family and the nation. He described her as more than a wife — a confidant, counsellor, and a guiding light illuminating his 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 added.
President Tinubu also acknowledged the immense sacrifices Senator Oluremi Tinubu has made, often away from the public eye, as a pillar of support both to him and to the country.
“Nigeria owes you more than many will ever know. 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 said.
Closing his tribute, the President expressed profound gratitude and love, praying for her continued joy, peace, and fulfillment in the years ahead.
“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. Your love is a treasure I hold dear.”
“Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve.”
The President’s touching message has resonated widely, capturing the admiration of many Nigerians who recognize Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s quiet but powerful influence on the country and on the President’s life.
