Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos is 68 years old today.

Although a colloquium yearly held in his honour will not hold today, Tinubu in a special birthday message, appreciated God for all his blessings.

“I thank God for giving me the life and time on earth he has provided me. He has blessed me beyond the ability of words to describe”, he said.

“I am more than cognizant of His great mercies toward me. I have much to be thankful for. However, this is not the moment for exuberant celebration or light talk on my part. 

“At this moment, it is better that we confer in prudence and wisdom, one to another, so that we can better deal with that which seems eager to severely deal with us.
