The member representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency of Osun State in the House of Representatives, Oluwole Oke, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his second year in office.
Oke described Tinubu as “the most civil and tolerant President Nigeria has ever had.”
Oke, the Chairman, House Committee on Foreign Affairs, in a statement made available to journalists on Friday, highlighted the Tinubu administration’s respect for fundamental human rights.
He noted that despite criticisms from opposition parties, within the All Progressives Congress, 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 get to the federation account and are fairly distributed in line with the Constitution.Related News
He also commended 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.”
On the international stage, the lawmaker said Tinubu’s successful diplomatic engagements, including securing a $2.5 billion agricultural investment from Brazil, had restored Nigeria’s international credibility, as reflected in the country’s removal from the IMF debtor list.
He added that 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 marks of visionary leadership.
“Security is a shared responsibility,” Oke emphasised, urging citizens to support ongoing efforts to secure the nation. He further noted that Nigerian workers have received wage increases under 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 added.
