On her part, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and foremost Occupational Therapist, Mrs Victoria Amu, described Tinubu’s call that his 71st birthday be marked by national prayers as a display of his sensitivity, patriotism, and readiness to serve the country empathetically and humanely.

Amu, who vied for a chance to represent Owan West in the Edo State House of Assembly, in a statement, said: “For the second year running, our next president and leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has remarkably requested that the spotlight be taken off him and instead placed on issues of national importance with humble requests for prayers for the progress of the nation.”
