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 was disclosed in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to Onanuga, the prayer session, which falls within the holy month of Ramadan, will be dedicated to spiritual reflection and supplication for Nigeria’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 underscored the significance of collective prayer in fostering national unity and progress, urging Nigerians to participate in spirit by offering prayers from their respective places of worship.
Tinubu’s birthday comes just two months before his administration’s second anniversary. During this period, he reaffirmed his dedication 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,” he said, expressing gratitude for the support he has received from Nigerians.
The statement further noted 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 stated.
As Nigerians join in the prayers, Tinubu’s call for unity and divine guidance serves as a reminder of his administration’s commitment to steering the nation towards stability and prosperity.
