A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, and former Chairman of Oluyole Local Government, Oyo State, Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan has said that the recent judgment by the Supreme Court that granted financial autonomy to the local government areas has shown that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is leading the country to greatness.
In a statement issued on Friday, Olaosebikan, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Midas Communications Ltd described Tinubu as a strategic leader with a political will to turn things around in Nigeria.
“With an effective strategy and willpower, President Tinubu through his Attorney General took a new route of the court and got the local governments liberated swiftly. This is a great accomplishment that should be commended by all.
“As a former local government chairman and a deep-rooted grassroots politician, I want to say that liberation would go a long way in solving both the festering problems of insecurity and hunger in the country. All we require now is to have capable, creative, bold, and strategic people manning the local governments.
“It is just one of the great things that President Bola Tinubu would do for the country. He has already made history with this laudable epochal judgment. He will do much more. He is capable, strategic, and with a strong political will. These are the qualities that the president is deploying in governance, and it is becoming clear that Nigerians are in for a better time.”
He added: “When I spoke recently that Nigerians would yearn for the president to continue in office in 2027, many people criticized me for being too optimistic about the Tinubu government. A notable person in the society described my submission to the government then as “morally repulsive.” I didn’t fight him as I just told him that it was my position, not his. The same man called me last night and simply said “the president means business “and I said, yes. I told him that it was time for all of us to give him our support, believe in his leadership and be more patriotic. He agreed.”
“I want to make another postulation that the president would satisfy the Labour and Nigerians on the minimum wage. The President’s final decision would be a pleasant surprise to all. He cares and is determined to write his name in gold.”
