President Bola Tinubu says he will dedicate his 72nd birthday to the task of building a more stable, secure, prosperous and united Nigeria.
He also asked friends and associates wishing to celebrate him to donate such monies to charity organisations of their choice in his name, instead of placing adverts in newspapers or radios.
“During an auspicious occasion as this, it is customary for family members, friends and associates to celebrate him in different ways.
“President Tinubu, in deference to this challenging time, said he will not host any birthday event and does not want any of his associates and numerous well-wishers to organise any celebratory event on his behalf or in his name.
“President Tinubu appreciates the honour of being the leader of Africa’s leading nation at this time and he is working very hard to make life better for the generality of our people,” Onanuga said.
He said that the manner of celebration was the President’s responsiveness to the present mood of the nation and recent killing of officers and men of the Army and Police in Delta.
He said that it was also due to the recent spate of security breaches by criminal elements in different parts of Nigeria.
