President Bola Tinubu Celebrates His Wife’s 66th Birthday

President Bola Tinubu has celebrated his wife, Oluremi, on her 66th birthday. He recently shared his birthday tribute on his verified X handle, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Describing her as his truest friend and confidante, Tinubu praised his wife’s patience, courage, compassion and unwavering support throughout their years together.

He concluded by appreciating Oluremi for standing by him through different seasons of his life while sharing his burdens.

His words, “Today, I celebrate the woman who has walked beside me with patience, grace and uncommon courage.

Àwọn àgbà sọ pé, ‘Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀.’ A good wife is her husband’s crown.

The burdens that were mine to bear often found their way onto your shoulders. The thoughts I could not put into words somehow found their way to you.

In difficult times, when the future was uncertain, you stayed calm beside me and prayed with me.

I’ll call you my truest friend and confidante because you speak the truth plainly, even on the days I would rather not hear it.

Our home bears the lasting imprint of your devotion. Our children and grandchildren have grown beneath the shelter of your prayers. They carry your values of faith and kindness wherever life takes them.

Nigerians know you for your compassion, kindness, generosity of spirit and steadfast faith. I have watched you touch lives quietly and consistently, offering hope and support to those in need.

From the New Era Foundation during our years in the saddle in Lagos to the Renewed Hope Initiative today, your care has reached many young boys and girls, widows, elderly citizens, and women farmers across the country.

For you, compassion has never recognised the boundaries of tribe, region or religion.

A long journey teaches a man the true value of a good partner. We have travelled a long road together. I think of the difficult decisions we talked through for hours and the sacrifices no one else saw.

Laughter and prayer carried us through many of them.

If life returned me to the beginning, I would choose the same road that led me to you. Through every mile, my heart has always remained at home with you.

Happy 66th birthday, my darling Oluremi. I pray that God Almighty will grant you many more years in good health and joy.”
