President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has penned an emotional tribute to his son, as the younger man marks his 40th birthday today.
In a touching personal statement issued from the State House, President Tinubu praised his son’s character, accomplishments, and commitment to service.
Tinubu described Seyi as ‘a man of focus, courage, and humility’ who continues to walk the path of impact and leadership.
He wrote: ‘You have walked your path with focus, courage, and humility, and you have done so with a heart that seeks to build, serve, and uplift others.’
The President while recalling Seyi’s early ambition and entrepreneurial spirit, he commended his son’s transformation of ‘ideas into institutions’ and ‘challenges into opportunities’, citing his work in both business and service as evidence of a life built on substance and purpose.
‘True success is not measured by wealth or power but by the impact we make and the lives we touch,’ Tinubu said.
Describing 40 as a pivotal age, Tinubu extolled Seyi’s integrity, work ethic, and devotion to his own young family, including his wife Layal and their children.
He said, ‘Our entire family is proud of you.
‘You have carried your name with honour and have remained faithful to the values of discipline, integrity, and hard work.’
President Tinubu concluded his message with a prayer for continued wisdom, peace, and good health for Seyi, urging him to keep inspiring others and making Nigeria proud.
