Abuja, Nigeria – May 30, 2025
Hon. Oluwole Oke, Member of the House of Representatives for Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, has extended heartfelt congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on marking two years in office as Nigeria’s President.
In a statement released from Abuja, Hon. Oke described President Tinubu as “the most civil and tolerant President Nigeria has ever had,” emphasizing the administration’s respect for human rights and absence of political persecution despite opposition pressures. He highlighted the bold economic decision to remove the petroleum subsidy, which he said ended entrenched interests’ control and ensured fair revenue distribution in line with fiscal federalism principles.
The lawmaker also applauded the President’s commitment to youth empowerment through initiatives like the Students Loan Fund and the unprecedented appointment of young Nigerians to ministerial and leadership roles. “No other Nigerian President has matched this feat,” Oke noted.
On the international front, Hon. Oke pointed to President Tinubu’s diplomatic successes, including securing a $2.5 billion agricultural investment from Brazil and Nigeria’s removal from the IMF debtor list, restoring the country’s global standing.
Further commendations included the President’s dedication to peace, support for traditional and religious leaders, respect for anti-corruption agencies’ independence, and ongoing security reforms. Oke urged Nigerians to join in the shared responsibility of securing the nation and acknowledged wage increases for workers under the current administration.
“On all fronts—economy, rights, education, diplomacy, security, and governance—Mr. President has delivered and continues to lead with courage and compassion. He is truly the father of a new Nigeria,” Hon. Oke concluded.
