‘Steadying anchor’: Tinubu celebrates wife Oluremi on 65th birthday

President Bola Tinubu paid glowing tribute to his wife, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, on her 65th birthday, on Sunday, September 21, 2025.

Tinubu described the First Lady as his “steadying anchor” and the “true strength of womanhood.”

The president, in a statement issued on Sunday, lauded Oluremi for her unwavering support throughout the years, from the struggles of political exile to the responsibilities of leadership.

Tinubu stated: “As you celebrate your 65th birthday today, I honour not only the love of my life, but also a woman whose quiet strength and enduring grace have been my steadying anchor.

“Through every season, from the long years of struggle and political exile, to leadership responsibilities, you have stood firmly by my side with dignity, patience, and devotion that words can scarcely express.

Tinubu described Oluremi as more than a wife, but a confidant, counsellor, and a guiding light whose compassion and faith serve as an example to their children, grandchildren, and to the nation.

“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,” he added.

Tinubu further commended the First Lady for her warmth and empathy, which he said continue to touch millions of lives across Nigeria.

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

“As your President, I salute you as the First Lady whose 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.

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