President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will commemorate his 73rd birthday on Friday with a special prayer session at the National Mosque in Abuja, where he will join fellow Muslims in seeking divine guidance for Nigeria.
This is contained in a statement by the Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the event, which takes place during the holy month of Ramadan, will be dedicated to spiritual reflection and supplication for the country’s continued peace, stability, and economic growth.
“As I mark another birthday and look forward to our second anniversary, my heart is filled with Renewed Hope for Nigeria,” President Tinubu said. “I urge all citizens to pray for divine guidance, unity, and healing for our land. Together, we shall overcome challenges and build a nation where every citizen thrives.”
The president emphasized the importance of collective prayer in fostering national unity and progress. He invited Nigerians to participate in spirit by offering prayers from their respective places of worship.
His birthday comes two months before his administration’s second anniversary, a period during which he reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the economy, enhancing security, and ensuring a better future for all Nigerians.
“I am deeply thankful to Allah for the gift of life and the privilege to serve this great nation,” Tinubu said, expressing gratitude for the support he has received from Nigerians.
The statement added that the president sees this occasion as an opportunity to reflect on his leadership journey and renew his commitment to democratic progress.
“He believes collective prayer is a powerful tool for guiding the nation towards progress and harmony,” Onanuga noted.
