President Bola Tinubu has honoured First Lady Oluremi Tinubu on her 65th birthday.

In a heartfelt message on Sunday, the president described his wife as the love of his life, noting that her quiet strength and enduring grace “have been my steadying anchor.”

He commended her unwavering support throughout years of struggle, political exile, and leadership, highlighting her patience and devotion.

The president further praised her impact beyond family duties, pointing to her compassion, faith, and contributions to Nigerians.

“You are more than my wife. You are my confidant, counsellor, and the steady flame illuminating my path,” the message reads.

“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.

“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.

“Today, as your husband, I thank God for your life, health, and unwavering love.”

Tinubu added that Remi’s “warmth and empathy continue to touch millions of lives across our land.”

“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,” he said.

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