On September 21, President Bola Tinubu publicly celebrated his wife, First Lady Remi Tinubu, on her 66th birthday. He described her as his closest companion, stating that she understands him better than anyone else.

In his birthday tribute, he highlighted her patience, grace, and courage throughout their years together. Tinubu referenced a Yoruba proverb, "Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀," meaning "a good wife is her husband's crown," and noted that Remi embodies the biblical portrait of a virtuous woman.
