Although President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will turn 72 on Friday March 29, 2024, he has asked well wishers not to commemorate his birthday with pomp and pageantry.
Tinubu, who spoke through his aide, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information & Strategy on Sunday, said the day will be another important milestone in his life as a leader and a statesman. According to the president, it is not unusual that during an auspicious occasion as this, it is customary for family members, friends and associates to celebrate him in different ways.
'Because of the present mood of the nation and recent killing of the officers and men of our Army and Police in Delta State and recent spate of security breaches by criminal elements in different parts of Nigeria, there should be no form of birthday event and placing of birthday goodwill advertorial messages in newspapers. Goodwill messages should not be placed on radio and television stations too.
