By Onoja Baba, Nigeria

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has penned an emotional letter to his son, Seyi Tinubu, as he marks his 40th birthday, expressing pride in the man he has become and commending his focus, courage, and humility.

In the heartfelt message released from the Aso Villa, Abuja, the President thanked God for Seyi’s life, describing him as a man whose journey has been defined by purpose, hard work, and compassion.

“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 wrote.

Tinubu praised Seyi’s accomplishments in business, notably through his company Loatsad, and his humanitarian efforts via the Noella Foundation, which has supported education, youth empowerment, and maternal and child welfare initiatives across Nigeria.

He said his son’s success is not merely measured by wealth or power but by the impact he makes in the lives of others.

“As you celebrate this milestone, remember that your strength lies in what you achieve and how you inspire others to believe,” President Tinubu stated, adding that the entire family is proud of the family Seyi is building with his wife, Layal, and their children.

The President concluded his message with a prayer, “May God bless you with wisdom, good health, and peace. You have made us proud, and I know you will continue to make Nigeria proud.”
