The Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has celebrated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 74th birthday, describing him as a symbol of courageous leadership and a driving force behind Nigeria’s ongoing political and economic transformation.
In a goodwill message issued on Sunday by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC said the President’s birthday presents an opportunity not just for celebration, but for reflection on a lifetime devoted to public service, democratic values, and national development.
The statement highlighted Tinubu’s legacy as a pro-democracy advocate, reform-driven leader, and strategist whose influence continues to shape Nigeria’s trajectory.
Speaking on behalf of the party, the State Chairman of the APC, Chief Solomon Arenyeka, praised the President’s leadership since assuming office, noting that his administration has shown “remarkable courage and statesmanship” in tackling entrenched structural challenges.
He said the government’s reform initiatives, particularly in economic stabilization, fiscal discipline, and sectoral revitalization, demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainable growth and national prosperity.
“On this remarkable occasion of your 74th birthday, we celebrate not just your years but your enduring impact on Nigeria’s democratic evolution and development. You remain a beacon of hope, resilience, and visionary leadership,” Arenyeka stated.
The APC further acknowledged that while some of the President’s policy decisions have been difficult, they are necessary steps toward building a more self-reliant nation.
“Mr. President, your bold decisions, though challenging, are laying the foundation for a stronger and more self-reliant Nigeria. Your Renewed Hope Agenda continues to inspire confidence among Nigerians across all divides,” he added.
The party emphasized that Tinubu’s leadership style—anchored on inclusiveness, strategic thinking, and decisiveness—has helped rebuild public trust in governance and foster national unity.
According to the statement, the President’s willingness to take firm decisions in difficult times underscores his commitment to future generations and positions his administration as a potential turning point in Nigeria’s economic recovery and institutional reforms.
“Your ability to take decisive action in the face of adversity speaks volumes about your commitment to future generations. History will undoubtedly remember your administration as a turning point in Nigeria’s journey toward economic recovery and institutional reform,” Arenyeka said.
The Delta APC also commended Tinubu’s longstanding contributions to party development and political mentorship, noting his role in nurturing leaders and strengthening progressive politics within the APC and beyond.
As part of the celebration, the party offered prayers for the President’s continued health, wisdom, and strength in leading the country.
“We pray that Almighty God grants you many more years in wisdom, strength, and good health as you continue to serve our dear nation with distinction. May your vision for a united and prosperous Nigeria be fully realized,” the statement read.
Reaffirming its political alignment, the Delta APC reiterated its support for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, noting its synergy with the M.O.R.E. Agenda of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, in delivering democratic dividends to the people.
The party concluded by congratulating the President, describing him as “a leader of remarkable stature and enduring legacy.”
