He said, “I named my son Ahmad Bola Tinubu as a mark of respect, admiration and love for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His commitment to Nigeria’s development and the welfare of its citizens has greatly inspired me. This is my own way of appreciating his service to the nation.”
Danbaba added that the naming ceremony of the newborn has been scheduled for next Thursday, and invited family members, friends, neighbours and members of the public to attend.
He also offered prayers for the country, expressing hope for continued peace, unity and national development.
“I pray that Almighty Allah continues to bless Nigeria with peace, security and unity. May our nation experience sustainable development and greater prosperity for all citizens,” he said.
