Sheikh Abdullateef Emiabata who led the prayer session, prayed to God to grant the celebrant long life in good health to enable him continue to promote youth empowerment, social responsibility, and national unity.
The cleric who read some verses from the Holy Quran, also prayed for continued peace, unity, economic growth and development in the country.
“We pray that God Almighty will continue to shower His blessings on all Nigerians and ensure peace and unity prevail in the country.
“We also pray that God Almighty will grant the celebrant long life in good health for him to continue to do what he cherished most— promoting youth empowerment and national unity,” he said.
Speaking to reporters shortly after the prayer, the Convener, Seyi Olorunsola, said the prayer session was being organised as part of activities to celebrate Seyi who he described as distinguished youth icon, philanthropist, and visionary Nigerian.
“We are celebrating Seyi’s 40th birthday. Despite holding no elective office, he has continued to champion educational and humanitarian causes, thereby serving as a moral example to the younger
generation,” Olorunsola said.
Also speaking, one of the youth leaders, Isyaku Rabi’u, said the decision to celebrate Seyi Tinubu’s 40th birthday was in recognition of his commitment towards promoting youth empowerment.
