Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has extended warm birthday wishes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, praying for strength, wisdom, and fulfillment as he marks his 73rd birthday.

In a heartfelt message, Osinbajo said: “Happy Birthday, Mr. President! As your days increase, so shall your strength, wisdom, and fulfillment, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Osinbajo and Tinubu share a long political history, having worked closely during their time in Lagos State, where Tinubu served as governor and Osinbajo as Attorney General.

Their partnership later extended to national politics, with Osinbajo serving as Vice President from 2015 to 2023, championing key reforms in governance and economic development.

His birthday message reflects not only personal goodwill but also a recognition of the challenges of leadership.

Throughout his tenure, Osinbajo has consistently emphasised the importance of wisdom and divine guidance in governance, values he now prays will strengthen Tinubu’s leadership.

As Tinubu celebrates with prayers at the National Mosque in Abuja, Osinbajo’s greeting joins a wave of tributes from political leaders, dignitaries, and well-wishers across the country.

His words resonate with many Nigerians who hope for effective governance and national progress under Tinubu’s administration.

With Nigeria facing economic and security challenges, Osinbajo’s prayer underscores the need for resilience and divine guidance in navigating the nation’s path forward.

His message serves as both a gesture of goodwill and a reminder of the weight of responsibility on the presidency.
