President Bola Tinubu has written a love letter to his wife and First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu as she marks her 65th birthday.
In a statement from the Presidential Villa on Sunday, the president described Mrs Tinubu as his partner, confidant and counsellor.
He recalled her role during their years of political struggle and exile, noting her support throughout his leadership journey.
The president said, “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.”
Tinubu also acknowledged her sacrifices in the private sphere, adding that she has served the country in her own way outside of public office.
“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 said.
The president prayed for more years of life, peace and fulfilment for the First Lady.
