President Tinubu Praises Oluremi’s Support, Honesty and Compassion at 66

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has marked the 66th birthday of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu with a remarkably personal tribute, describing his wife as his “truest friend and confidante” and declaring that, if life offered him another beginning, he would still choose the same road that led him to her. The President’s message, released as the First Lady celebrated her birthday on September 21, mixed romance, gratitude, prayer and a little reminder that even the occupant of Aso Rock apparently has someone at home who can tell him things he may not always want to hear.

Aso Rock Gets a Birthday Message With No Policy Debate

In the tribute, Tinubu praised Oluremi for standing beside him through difficult periods, sharing burdens, offering prayers and providing counsel. He particularly highlighted her willingness to speak plainly, calling that honesty one of the reasons he considers her his closest friend and confidante.

The President also reflected on their long journey together, saying that the road they had travelled had included difficult decisions, sacrifices, laughter and prayer. In what could easily pass for a presidential declaration with zero political campaign promises attached, Tinubu said that if he had to begin life again, he would choose the same road that brought him to Oluremi.

From Family Confidence to Public Compassion

Beyond the family setting, Tinubu praised his wife’s humanitarian activities, referencing her earlier work through the New Era Foundation and her current involvement with the Renewed Hope Initiative. He said her efforts have reached young people, widows, elderly citizens and women farmers, while also highlighting her advocacy for people affected by tuberculosis and other illnesses.

For a political household that routinely attracts public attention, the birthday message offered a noticeably personal window into the President’s description of his relationship with the First Lady. The central message was simple: behind the official titles and national responsibilities, Tinubu says he values Oluremi not only as his wife but also as someone he trusts to provide honest counsel when the cameras are gone.

The birthday tribute therefore leaves Nigerians with a story that is less about politics and more about partnership, loyalty and the value of having someone willing to speak plainly. As Oluremi Tinubu turns 66, OGM News NG will continue watching for the next chapter of the Tinubu family story — because apparently, some roads are presidential, some are political, and some simply lead home.
