President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday, describing her as a pillar of strength whose sacrifices have quietly supported both his journey and the nation.
In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the President expressed gratitude for her devotion, noting that the First Lady’s contributions go far beyond what many may ever know.
He wrote: “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 praised his wife as “the love of my life” and “a woman whose quiet strength and enduring grace have been my steadying anchor.”
He recalled how she stood by him during “the long years of struggle and political exile” and through his 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 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.
The President also commended her public service, saying her warmth and empathy continue to touch lives across the country.
“As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land,” he wrote.
Switching to a more personal note, Tinubu thanked God for her life and reaffirmed his love: “Today, as your husband, I thank God for your life, health, and unwavering love. 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.”
Wishing her happiness and fulfilment in the years ahead, he concluded: “Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi @SenRemiTinubu. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve.”
