The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Sunday, celebrated the love, strength and sacrifice of fathers across the country.
In a goodwill message to mark Father’s Day 2026, the First Lady said fathers play a vital role in shaping the character, confidence and future of their children, and that their guidance, protection and dedication help build strong families and stronger communities.
She wrote, “On this Father’s Day 2026, we celebrate the love, strength, and sacrifice of fathers across Nigeria and around the world.
“Fathers play a vital role in shaping the character, confidence, and future of their children.
“Through their guidance, protection, and dedication, fathers help build strong families and stronger communities.”
She extended the tribute beyond biological fathers to include men who fill that role in other capacities.
“Today, we honour all fathers, father-figures, role models, and mentors who show up each day, working to provide for their families,” she declared.
The First Lady prayed for continued strength and wisdom for fathers across the country, saying, “May you continue to be a source of wisdom, strength, and inspiration to your families. Happy Father’s Day.”
