President Bola Tinubu will mark his 73rd birthday on Saturday with a special prayer session at the Abuja National Mosque. The event, expected to be attended by top government officials, religious leaders, and well-wishers, is part of the president’s tradition of observing his birthday with prayers and reflection.
Over the years, Tinubu has chosen to celebrate his birthday with low-key gatherings and prayers, emphasizing gratitude and national unity. This year’s prayer session will reportedly focus on seeking divine guidance for Nigeria’s peace, security, and economic progress. Religious leaders are expected to offer special prayers for the country and its leadership.
Tinubu, who assumed office as Nigeria’s president, has maintained that public service remains his top priority, often opting for quiet reflections rather than elaborate celebrations. Sources within the presidency indicate that after the mosque prayers, he may receive a few dignitaries in a private setting.
The president’s birthday comes amid ongoing efforts to implement key economic and governance reforms. Supporters and political allies are expected to use the occasion to praise his leadership and reaffirm their commitment to his administration’s agenda. Across the country, various groups have also planned goodwill messages and tributes to mark the milestone.
