Nigerian pilgrims currently on pilgrimage in Israel have joined in celebrating the 65th birthday of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The pilgrims, who marked the occasion with prayers and goodwill messages, described the First Lady as a woman of faith, resilience, and service to humanity. They commended her contributions to the upliftment of women and youths in Nigeria, while also praying for her long life, strength, and wisdom as she supports President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Oluremi Tinubu, a former senator representing Lagos Central, turned 65 in September 2025. Her birthday was widely acknowledged both at home and abroad, with messages pouring in from political leaders, religious groups, and well-wishers.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara attended his first church service following the suspension of political hostilities in the state. The governor’s appearance at the service drew significant attention as it symbolized a moment of reflection and reconciliation after weeks of political tension.
Governor Fubara, addressing the congregation, expressed gratitude to God for guidance through the challenges and reiterated his commitment to peace, stability, and good governance in Rivers State.
Both events—the celebration of the First Lady’s milestone birthday and Governor Fubara’s return to public worship—highlight the role of faith and prayer in the nation’s political and social life.
