President Bola Tinubu will celebrate his 73rd birthday on Saturday with a special prayer session at the National Mosque in Abuja, joined by fellow Muslims. This occasion also serves as an opportunity for him to express gratitude for God’s support in leading the nation.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, it was revealed that the President intends to dedicate this significant day to spiritual reflection and supplication for Nigeria’s continued peace, progress, and prosperity. The prayer session coincides with the holy month of Ramadan and occurs just two months before the anniversary of his administration.
Onanuga stated, “Choosing a prayer session reflects President Tinubu’s dedication to Nigeria’s spiritual and moral well-being and his commitment to seeking divine guidance, insight, and strength in leadership. He believes collective prayer is a powerful tool for guiding the nation towards progress and harmony.”
The President has invited the public to join the prayer session in spirit by offering prayers at their places of worship, reinforcing a nationwide commitment to unity and shared destiny.
In his message, President Tinubu expressed profound gratitude to Nigerians for their support and goodwill while outlining his administration’s efforts to advance economic reforms, strengthen national security, and expand opportunities for citizens. He encouraged all citizens to pray for divine guidance, unity, and healing for the nation, asserting, “Together, we shall overcome challenges and build a nation where every citizen thrives.”
As he approaches another birthday, Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to consolidating democratic gains and fostering national cohesion, urging citizens to believe in Nigeria’s destiny as a beacon of hope in Africa.
