Chairman of the South-West Governors Forum and Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has extended warm birthday greetings to Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the occasion of his 74th anniversary, describing him as a patriotic and compassionate leader.
Sanwo-Olu praised the President as a visionary and focused statesman whose leadership, he said, has driven development, economic growth, and renewed public confidence in governance.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor described Tinubu, who turns 74 on Sunday, as a rare personality whose contributions to national development remain significant.
He commended the President’s impact across politics, governance, and the economy, noting that his influence has been instrumental in the transformation of Lagos State, the South-West region, and Nigeria as a whole.
“On behalf of my wife, Ibijoke, my family, the government and people of Lagos State, as well as leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos, I congratulate our National Leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his 74th birthday,” Sanwo-Olu said.
He described Tinubu as a seasoned democrat who has devoted much of his life to public service, adding that his record in governance reflects a strong commitment to national progress.
“President Tinubu is an enigmatic, tested and trusted politician whose democratic credentials and governance style underscore his dedication to building a better Nigeria,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu further highlighted the President’s commitment to inclusive leadership and national unity, noting that his policies under the Renewed Hope Agenda have positively impacted citizens across the country.
He also credited Tinubu with laying the foundation for modern Lagos during his tenure as governor in the early years of the Fourth Republic, a legacy he said has positioned the state as a model for others within and outside Nigeria.
“As President, he has shown courage, integrity, and patriotism in steering the nation through complex challenges, implementing bold reforms aimed at addressing economic issues and improving the lives of Nigerians,” he added.
The governor also prayed for continued strength, wisdom, and good health for the President as he continues to lead the country towards greater political and economic advancement.
