President Tinubu Eulogizes Son Seyi on 40th Birthday, Charges Him to ‘Continue to Make Nigeria Proud’

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has penned a heartfelt and effusive birthday message to his son, Seyi Tinubu, who celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday, October 12, 2025. The President’s message, personally signed and released from Aso Villa, eulogized his son’s personal qualities and leadership achievements while charging him to maintain his commitment to national service.

In the message, President Tinubu expressed gratitude to God for his son’s life and the man he has grown to become. He commended Seyi for navigating his life’s journey with “focus, courage, and humility,” and for possessing “a heart that seeks to build, serve, and uplift others.”

“From an early age, you have shown determination and a desire to create and lead,” the President wrote. “I have watched you turn ideas into institutions and challenges into opportunities. 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 described the age of forty as “a special age” that effectively “bridges youthful drive and the more profound wisdom that life brings.” He also praised his son’s dedication to core family values, stating that Seyi has “carried your name with honour and have remained faithful to the values of discipline, integrity, and hard work.”

The celebratory message concluded with the President expressing immense family pride in Seyi’s devotion as a husband and father to his wife, Layal, and his commitment to making a difference in his generation.

“As you celebrate this milestone, remember that your strength lies in what you achieve and how you inspire others to believe in themselves,” President Tinubu stated, adding the final charge: “Happy 40th Birthday, my son. You have made us proud, and I know you will continue to make Nigeria proud.”

The celebration of the milestone birthday saw friends of the President’s son launching a “one million Holy Bible project” in Abuja, an initiative aimed at promoting moral revival and strengthening Christian values among Nigerian youths.
