President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid a glowing tribute to his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as she turns 65, describing her as a steadfast pillar whose quiet sacrifices have benefited the nation.
In a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the President said Nigeria owes the First Lady a debt of gratitude for her devotion and unheralded service over the decades.
“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,” Tinubu wrote.
Calling her “the love of my life” and a source of “quiet strength and enduring grace,” he praised her steadfast support through years of political struggle, exile, and leadership responsibilities.
“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 compassion and faith; in you, our nation sees the true strength of womanhood, resolute yet tender, humble yet unshakably firm,” he added.
The President also commended her impact as First Lady, noting that her warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across the country.
“Today, as your husband, I thank God for your life, health, and unwavering love. I love you more than ever and feel blessed every day by your presence. Your love is a treasure I hold dear,” he wrote, before wishing her joy, peace and fulfilment in the years ahead.
“Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi @SenRemiTinubu. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve,” Tinubu concluded.
