Barau, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, described Tinubu as a visionary leader committed to repositioning Nigeria for sustainable growth and development.
The lawmaker noted that the President, who clocks 74 on March 29, has demonstrated strong leadership in the past 34 months, adding that his ongoing reforms would earn him massive support from Nigerians at the polls.
“Happy 74th birthday to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. He is a visionary leader who has been working tirelessly for the past 34 months to reposition our country for the benefit of both present and future generations,” he said.
Barau expressed optimism that Tinubu would emerge victorious in the next presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027.
“By the grace of God, Nigerians will overwhelmingly vote for President Tinubu come January 16, 2027, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct the presidential election,” he added.
He further stated that he believes the President would have secured his re-election by the time he marks his 75th birthday.
“I have no doubt that by this time next year, when we will be celebrating his 75th birthday, he will be the President-elect for his second term. The victory will herald his birthday celebration,” Barau said.
The senator urged Nigerians to continue praying for the country and support the administration, stressing that the President remains committed to addressing national challenges.
