It was a day of affection and heartfelt words as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu penned an emotional letter to his wife and Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday.
In a statement personally signed on Sunday, September 21, 2025, the President described Oluremi as more than just his wife, but his confidant, counsellor, and steady anchor through decades of political battles and exile.
A Love Letter Beyond Politics
Recalling his long years of struggle, Tinubu noted that Oluremi stood firmly by his side with patience and dignity, carrying burdens silently and making sacrifices for the family and the nation.
“As you celebrate your 65th birthday today, I honour not only the love of my life, but also a woman whose quiet strength and enduring grace have been my steadying anchor,” Tinubu wrote.
He added:
“Through every season, from the long years of struggle and political exile, to leadership responsibilities, you have stood firmly by my side… You are more than my wife. You are my confidant, counsellor, and the steady flame illuminating my path.”
Nigeria’s Silent First Lady
Tinubu declared that Nigeria owes Oluremi more than many will ever know, stressing that she served the country not from podiums but from the quiet strength of their home.
He further praised her as an example of compassion and faith to their children and grandchildren, and a symbol of true womanhood to the nation.
“As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land,” Tinubu added.
Birthday Blessings
Concluding his tribute, Tinubu prayed for joy, peace, and fulfilment for the First Lady in the years ahead.
“Happy 65th birthday, Oluremi. May the years ahead be filled with joy, peace, and the fulfilment you so richly deserve,” the President said.
The touching tribute has since set social media buzzing, with many Nigerians hailing the President’s open display of love.
