“He is a focused, courageous, disciplined and humble young man who has done a lot to build, serve, impact and uplift others, especially the younger generation, whom he has touched positively as a role model worthy of celebrating.
“He is a voice to reckon with in Nigeria because of how he has impacted many youths and lifted up many people through several interventions and empowerment in different parts of the country.
“As Seyi Tinubu steps into this new decade, may his path be marked by greater accomplishments, deeper impact, and continued grace. I pray that God will bless him with long life, sound health, and renewed wisdom as he turns 40.”
