President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has paid glowing tribute to his wife, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as she marked her 65th birthday on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
In a heartfelt message posted on his official social media pages, the President described the First Lady as the love of his life, his confidant, counsellor, and “the steady flame illuminating my path.”
Reflecting on their decades together, Tinubu recalled the unwavering support Oluremi showed during his years of political struggle, exile, and leadership responsibilities. He praised her quiet strength and devotion, noting that her sacrifices often went unseen but were crucial to his journey.
“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 wrote.
The President further stressed that Nigeria itself is indebted to Oluremi, acknowledging the burdens she carried at home and the sacrifices she made in silence.
“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 added.
Tinubu also thanked God for her life and health, describing her as a First Lady whose warmth and empathy touch millions of Nigerians.
Concluding his tribute, he wrote:
“Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve.”
