Tinubu set to Mark 73rd Birthday with Special Prayer Session at Abuja National Mosque

President Bola Tinubu will celebrate his 73rd birthday on Saturday, March 29, with a special prayer session at the National Mosque in Abuja.

Persecondnews reports that the event, scheduled for Friday, coincides with the holy month of Ramadan and comes just two months ahead of Tinubu’s administration second year anniversary.

According to a statement by Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy on Thursday, the prayers will serve as an opportunity for the President to express gratitude for God’s guidance in his leadership journey.

“Choosing a prayer session reflects President Tinubu’s dedication to Nigeria’s spiritual and moral well-being and his commitment to seeking divine guidance, insight, and strength in leadership,” the statement said.

Tinubu has also urged Nigerians to join the prayers in spirit, whether at their places of worship or elsewhere, as a sign of unity and shared destiny.

“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,” Tinubu said.

The President also reaffirmed his commitment to advancing economic reforms, strengthening national security, and expanding opportunities for all citizens.

As his administration approaches its two-year milestone, the birthday prayers serve as a reminder of his belief in divine intervention as a cornerstone for national development and unity.

“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,” Tinubu said.
