Ahead of his 73rd birthday on Saturday, March 29, 2025, President Bola Tinubu will join fellow Muslims at the National Mosque in Abuja on Friday, March 28, for a special prayer session for the nation.
Tinubu will also use the occasion to thank God for preserving and supporting him in the onerous task of piloting the nation’s affairs.
Tinubu’s birthday coincides with the month of Ramadan and comes two months before his administration’s second anniversary.
On this day, the president will dedicate himself to spiritual reflection and supplication for Nigeria’s continued peace, progress, and prosperity.
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who made this known via a statement on Thursday, said choosing a prayer session reflects Tinubu’s dedication to Nigeria’s spiritual and moral well-being and his commitment to seeking divine guidance, insight, and strength in leadership.
Onanuga said the president believes collective prayer is a powerful tool for guiding the nation towards progress and harmony.
He quoted President Tinubu as inviting the public to join the prayer session in spirit by offering prayers at their places of worship or wherever they may be, reinforcing a nationwide commitment to unity and shared destiny.
