President-elect Tinubu asks Nigerians for prayers and thanksgiving to mark his 71st birthday

President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has asked Nigerians to use the occasion of his 71st birthday for “special prayers and thanksgiving” to be held on Wednesday, March 29, instead of the yearly birthday colloquium.

The special prayers will be held in Lagos and in other parts of the country.

A statement from his office on Monday indicated that for the main event in Lagos special prayers will be offered at the Central Mosque in each of the five divisions in the state including the Central Mosque, Alausa, Ikeja


During the prayer sessions, special prayers will be offered for the peace, unity, and progress of Nigeria.

Also to receive prayers among others are President Muhammadu Buhari and First Lady Aisha Buhari, President-elect Tinubu and his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima and Hajia Nana Shettima, Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu, other state governors as well as members of National and State Houses of Assembly.


According to an announcement by the organisers of the prayer sessions issued by Imam Akeem Kosoko, the session at Alausa Central Mosque will begin at 10am on Wednesday and will include delivery of sermons and reading from the Holy Quran.

This year will be the third in recent times the birthday colloquium will not hold in deference to developments in the country.

In 2020, the 12th edition of the colloquium marking Asíwájú’s 68th birthday was put off to empathize with those who lost their lives or affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And last year, the birthday symposium was also called off by Asíwájú Tinubu right at the venue of the event when news emerged of the terror attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train in which several persons died and many others abducted.

The Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos venue was already filled to capacity with dignitaries to celebrate the birthday when Asíwájú took to the podium to announce the cancellation of the event.

The former Governor of Lagos had said it would not be proper for him as a statesman to be celebrating when such a tragedy had befallen the nation.

“For me to be here celebrating, dancing and enjoying myself, does not speak of me as a senior citizen of this country. I asked that the cleric should rather engage in prayers. This event should not be holding,” Tinubu had said on the occasion.

This year, the president-elect said the date, which falls within the holy month of Ramadan, should be dedicated to prayers and seeking God’s guidance for him and the country as he prepares to take the reins of leadership.

I hear he has gone on his knees begging everyone not to shame him. I feel sorry for him, sha. Even I know how it is to put in everything in the pursuit of a golden goose, and just when I thought I had gotten it, the hands of the opposition snatched it away.

71 or 88?
Tinubu was born in 1935

Yeah, Obasanjo is 120.

My grandfather is 9years older yet younger and stronger than Tinubu.

I don't doubt his age but No matter how influential you may be, there's nothing better than truthfulness😇

That druglord is 86 yrs

Golan007:


Yeah, Obasanjo is 120.

Tinubu and obasanjo are age mate

Any prayer for the devil is a wasted prayer.

Mrfeel:

Tinubu and obasanjo are age mate

Yes, Obasanjo who was president in 1976 is the same age with The youngest Senator in 1993.

"Every once in a while, I think that history gives us one or two persons who are gifted transformative leaders. I believe that our country has been gifted with this transformative leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I believe very strongly that this man’s political trajectory has only just begun. He is a man who has tremendous giftings and God has great plans ahead for him.

I pray for you, Ashiwaju, that as your days so shall your strength, wisdom and favour be in Jesus Mighty name, amen!" PROF YEMI OSINBAJO.

After watching the video below. Nigerians should be glad to have voted the BEST MAN according to Osinbanjo's own remarks about and prayers for ASIWAJU AHMED TINUBU. It's sad how Osinbanjo got carried away from the REALITY he himself confessed about TINUBU on his birthday. Watch the video below.
