President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday, describing her as a pillar of strength whose quiet sacrifices have served the nation for decades.

In a heartfelt message shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Tinubu said Nigeria is indebted to the First Lady for her devotion and steadfast support through years of service and sacrifice.

“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 called her “the love of my life” and “a woman whose quiet strength and enduring grace have been my steadying anchor,” recalling how she stood by him through years of struggle, political exile, and the demands of leadership.

“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.”

Tinubu also praised her public service, saying her warmth and empathy continue to touch lives across Nigeria.

“As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land.”

Ending on a personal note, he expressed gratitude and love for her:

“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. Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi @SenRemiTinubu. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve.”
