As he prepares to celebrate his 73rd birthday on Saturday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, will join fellow Muslim faithful at the National Mosque in Abuja on Friday for a special prayer session dedicated to the peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria.
The solemn gathering, which coincides with the holy month of Ramadan, will serve as an opportunity for the President to express gratitude to God for His guidance and sustenance in leading the country. With just two months to the second anniversary of his administration, President Tinubu remains focused on strengthening governance, fostering national unity, and advancing economic recovery.
In a statement issued ahead of the prayer session, the President reaffirmed his unwavering faith in divine intervention and collective supplication as a force for national development. He emphasized that the occasion was not merely a personal milestone but an opportunity for spiritual reflection on Nigeria’s journey and its future.
“I am deeply thankful to Allah for the gift of life and the privilege to serve this great nation. As I mark another birthday and look forward to our second anniversary, my heart is filled with Renewed Hope for Nigeria. 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,” he stated.
President Tinubu’s decision to mark his birthday with prayers instead of elaborate celebrations underscores his commitment to Nigeria’s moral and spiritual well-being. He believes that through unity in faith and purpose, the country can navigate its challenges and unlock new opportunities for growth and stability.
He also used the occasion to extend his appreciation to Nigerians for their continuous support and goodwill, reaffirming his administration’s resolve to drive economic transformation, enhance security, and ensure a better future for all.
The President called on citizens across the country to join in the prayers from their respective places of worship, reinforcing the collective aspiration for national progress.
As the nation reflects on President Tinubu’s leadership journey, the prayer session will symbolize a shared commitment to building a more prosperous and united Nigeria, guided by faith, resilience, and collective determination.
