Congratulating President Bola Tinubu on his 72nd birthday, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin hailed him as a forward-thinking leader, urging Nigerians to stand by the President in addressing the nation’s issues.
In a statement marking Tinubu’s birthday, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, Barau expressed joy alongside Nigerians and global admirers of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
During the Easter season, the lawmaker encouraged Christians to adopt Jesus Christ’s teachings on peace, love, perseverance, and forgiveness, emphasizing the significance of reflecting on the nation’s state and committing to prayers and sacrifices.
Barau remained optimistic that Nigeria’s hurdles can be surmounted through unity, love, and fervent prayers for the nation and its leadership.

“My family and I join leaders worldwide and the Nigerian populace in honoring President Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 72nd birthday! Happy birthday Mr. President, and may the Lord grant you health and wisdom in steering Nigeria’s economic transformation,” Nwosu stated.
Notably, Tinubu opted not to celebrate his 72nd birthday extravagantly due to the country’s ongoing security and economic challenges.
