Former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has congratulated President Mr Bola Tinubu on the occasion of his 72nd birthday.
In a short statement shared on his X handle, Mr Osinbajo prayed that God should grant Tinubu more wisdom and good health in the years to come.
“Happy 72nd Birthday President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. May the Lord God Almighty grant you robust health, unyielding strength in this year and the many years to come, and divine help and wisdom always,” Osinbajo prayed.
Tinubu had announced that there would be no celebration for his 72nd birthday on March 29, 2024, due to the prevailing economic challenges facing the country.
A statement on Sunday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President did not want any of his associates and numerous well-wishers across the country to organise any celebratory event on his behalf or in his name given the economic situation in the country.
Tinubu and Osinbajo had a tense relationship in the build-up to the presidential primary election of the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2022.
Osinbajo together with 12 other aspirants contested against Tinubu for the APC presidential ticket. However, Tinubu won the party’s ticket after securing 1,271 votes.
