CurrentReport Blog President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has opted for a subdued observance as he turns 72 on Friday, March 29, 2024. Despite this milestone, President Tinubu, through his aide Bayo Onanuga, has urged well-wishers to refrain from organizing any celebratory events in light of the current challenges facing the nation.
Acknowledging the customary practice of friends, family, and associates coming together to mark such occasions, President Tinubu emphasized the need for sensitivity during these trying times. Against the backdrop of recent security breaches and tragic losses within the military and police force, he has chosen not to host any birthday event or receive congratulatory messages through traditional media channels.
Instead, President Tinubu has called upon those intending to extend their goodwill to redirect their efforts towards charitable endeavors, reflecting his commitment to serving the nation’s greater good. While expressing gratitude for the bravery displayed by the armed forces in recent operations, particularly the rescue of kidnapped children in Kaduna and Sokoto states, he reaffirmed his dedication to fostering a more secure, prosperous, and unified Nigeria.
