President Tinubu Lauds Son Seyi on 40th Birthday, Hails His Focus, Humble Service
President Bola Tinubu has publicly celebrated his son, Seyi Tinubu, on the occasion of his 40th birthday, commending him as a “focused, courageous, and humble man” who consistently brings honour to his family and the country.
In a personal message released on Sunday, the nation’s leader offered thanks for his son’s life, praising his leadership qualities, relentless determination, and profound commitment to empowering and building up others.
“Today, as you turn forty, I thank Almighty God for your life and the man you have become. 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’s signed statement read.
The President highlighted Seyi’s early demonstration of a strong desire to innovate and take charge, noting his exceptional knack for transforming “ideas into institutions and challenges into opportunities”—a trait he attributes to his son’s impact-driven perspective.
He further articulated his view on true accomplishment: “In business and in service, you have shown that true success is not measured by wealth or power but by the impact we make and the lives we touch.”
President Tinubu characterized the milestone age of 40 as a special juncture that “bridges youthful drive and the more profound wisdom that life brings,” and praised his son’s dedication to discipline, integrity, and diligence.
He expressed deep familial pride in Seyi’s personal life: “Our entire family is proud of you. We are proud of the family you are building with Layal, your devotion as a husband and father, and your commitment to making a difference in your generation.”
The President concluded his tribute by invoking divine favour upon Seyi, praying for an abundance of wisdom, good health, and tranquility in the years to come. “Happy 40th birthday, my son. You have made us proud, and I know you will continue to make Nigeria proud,” the message stated.
