Abuja, Nigeria – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has penned a touching tribute to his son, Seyi Tinubu, on the occasion of his 40th birthday, describing him as “a man of focus, courage, humility, and compassion” whose journey reflects discipline, service, and purpose.
In a heartfelt open letter released on Monday, President Tinubu expressed profound gratitude to God for Seyi’s life, celebrating his son’s accomplishments, character, and growing legacy.
“You have walked your path with focus, courage, and humility — with a heart that seeks to build, serve, and uplift others,” the President wrote.
Reflecting on his son’s early years, Tinubu recalled that Seyi’s leadership and creativity had been evident from childhood.
“From an early age, you have shown determination and a desire to create and lead. I have watched you turn ideas into institutions and challenges into opportunities,” he said.
The President commended Seyi’s entrepreneurial spirit and innovation, citing his successful ventures — including Loatsad Media — as evidence of his dedication to building lasting impact.
“In business through Loatsad and your various endeavors, and in service, you have shown that true success is not only measured by wealth or power but by the impact we make and the lives we touch,” Tinubu stated.
Marking Seyi’s 40th birthday as a significant milestone, the President described it as a bridge between youthful energy and mature wisdom.
“Forty is a special age. It bridges youthful drive and the more profound wisdom that life brings,” he said. “You have carried your name with honour and have remained faithful to the values of discipline, integrity, and hard work.”
Tinubu also highlighted his son’s philanthropic work through the Noella Foundation, praising Seyi’s efforts in education, youth empowerment, social development, and maternal and child welfare.
“Through your work with the Noella Foundation, you have brought hope to families across Nigeria, created opportunities for many young people, and extended compassion to those in need,” the President said. “Your commitment to philanthropy reflects the values I hold dear.”
Speaking fondly of Seyi’s devotion to family life, Tinubu said the entire family is proud of the man he has become.
“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,” he wrote.
Offering words of encouragement, the President urged his son to continue leading with inspiration and integrity.
“As you celebrate this milestone, remember that your strength lies not only in what you achieve but in how you inspire others to believe,” he added.
