President Bola Tinubu has celebrated his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on her 66th birthday, describing her as his “truest friend and confidante” who has stood by him through difficult moments.
Tinubu, in a birthday message posted on his X handle on Monday, praised the First Lady for her patience, courage, kindness and compassion, saying she had remained a trusted source of counsel throughout their years together.
He said, “I call you my truest friend and confidante because you speak the truth plainly, even on the days I would rather not hear it.”
The President said his wife had walked beside him “with patience, grace and uncommon courage”, adding that she had shared his burdens and supported him during uncertain periods.
“Àwọn àgbà sọ pé, ‘Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀.’ A good wife is her husband’s crown,” Tinubu said.
“The Book of Proverbs, which you know far better than I do, also speaks eloquently of the worth of a virtuous woman.”
