In a heartfelt display of admiration and unity, youths from across Northern Nigeria gathered in Kano to hold a special prayer session in honor of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he marked his 40th birthday.
Organized by the Youth Alliance for Northern Development, the event took place at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society Mosque on Sanusi Street in Sabon Gari. The prayer session drew a large crowd of young people, religious leaders, and well-wishers who came together to celebrate Seyi Tinubu’s contributions to youth empowerment, philanthropy, and national development.
Leading the prayer was Sheikh Abdullateef Emiabata, who invoked blessings for Seyi Tinubu’s continued health, wisdom, and impact. “We pray that God Almighty grants the celebrant a long life in good health so he can continue to promote youth empowerment, social responsibility, and national unity,” the cleric said. He also offered prayers for peace, economic growth, and stability across Nigeria.
Seyi Tinubu, widely recognized for his philanthropic initiatives and support for youth-led programs, has earned praise for his commitment to human capital development. His efforts align with the broader goals of the Renewed Hope Agenda championed by President Tinubu.
Speaking at the event, Seyi Olorunsola, convener of the Youth Alliance for Development, emphasized the significance of the celebration. “We organized this prayer not just to mark a birthday, but to appreciate Seyi Tinubu for his consistent support of Nigerian youth. He is a role model whose humility and dedication inspire many,” Olorunsola stated.
The celebration in Kano is part of a series of nationwide events commemorating Seyi Tinubu’s milestone birthday. In Abuja and other states, educational materials have been donated to schools in his honor, further reinforcing his legacy of service and advocacy for youth development.
