Oluwole Oke, Member Representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, has extended his warm congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the occasion of his second year in office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In a statement issued and made available to New Telegraph, Hon. Oke described President Tinubu as “the most civil and tolerant President Nigeria has ever had,” highlighting the administration’s unwavering respect for fundamental human rights.
He noted that despite criticisms from opposition parties, within the APC, and even from the President’s own South West base, no one has been harassed or persecuted—a sharp departure from past administrations.
He lauded the President’s economic courage in removing the petroleum subsidy, describing it as a decisive move that broke the grip of entrenched interests and ensured that public revenues now reach the federation account and are fairly distributed in line with the Constitution. “This is the essence of fiscal federalism,” Oke remarked.
Hon. Oke also praised the administration’s commitment to youth empowerment, citing the establishment of the Students Loan Fund and the unprecedented number of young Nigerians appointed into ministerial and MDA leadership roles. “No other Nigerian President has matched this feat,” he stated.
On the international stage, the lawmaker noted President Tinubu’s successful diplomatic engagements, including securing a $2.5 billion agricultural investment from Brazil and restoring Nigeria’s international credibility, as reflected in the country’s removal from the IMF debtor list.
The President’s commitment to peace, support for traditional and religious leaders, non-interference in the operations of anti-corruption agencies, and ongoing reforms in the security architecture were also highlighted as marks of visionary leadership.
“Security is a shared responsibility,” Oke emphasized, urging citizens to support ongoing efforts to secure the nation. He further noted that Nigerian workers have received wage increases under President Tinubu’s watch.
“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,” Oke concluded.
