A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Hon. Adesola Gold Adedayo, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Hon Ibrahim Olanrewaju as a Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).
The Osun -Ekiti born politician was emphatic that Hon. Olanrewaju posseses the requisite and cognate experiences, knowledge and shrewdness to perform and make President Tinubu and Ekiti proud in his current assignment as a Presidential Liaison Officer in the federal Legislature.
Tinubu had on Monday appointed Olanrewaju, an indigene of Otun- Ekiti, Moba Local Government Area of Ekiti State SSA on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).
Olanrewaju, a Lawyer by profession, was a member of the House of Representatives between 2019 and 2023, representing Ekiti North Federal Constituency 2, comprising Moba/Ido-Osi/ Ilejemeje Local Government Areas.
Reacting to the appointment, in a statement, on Tuesday, Adedayo, a former Senior Legislative Aide, congratulated the appointee, saying his appointment was a well amplified testimony to his good character and competence that had garnered traction beyond the shores of Ekiti.
Adedayo assured President Tinubu that Olanrewaju won’t betray the confidence reposed in his ability, character, conduct and competence, saying he would discharge his duties zealously and patriotically for the uplift of the Nigerian nation.
The APC chieftain said: “Let me on behalf of myself, family and the entire people of Moba LG congratulate Hon Ibrahim Olanrewaju on this appointment that really attested to the fact that his soaring political stature has garnered national recognition.
“I am quite convinced that this new position will come with a lot of onerous responsibilities and I want to charge Hon Olanrewaju to bring out his best mental resource to discharge them to raise the respect being accorded an average Ekiti man in national politics.
“In the four years he spent in the Lower Chambers of the National Assembly, he tried his best for his constituents in terms of job creation, empowerment, donations to health facilities, among others.
“I want him to redouble efforts in his current position to justify the respect Mr President has in his ability, competence , comportment and character leading to the appointment”.
Adedayo congratulated Governor Biodun Oyebanji, his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, APC leaders and the entire people of the State on the appointment, describing this as an honour to all Ekiti citizens that must be truly appreciated .
Adedayo added: “Let me also congratulate Governor Biodun Oyebanji under whose reign good things are happening to Ekiti and Dr Kayode Fayemi for supporting his political scions to grow and rise to stardom, so that they can become accomplished personalities.
“Ekiti is lucky this time because, just a few days back, President Tinubu also announced the appointment of former Lagos State Information Commissioner, Mr. Dele Alake as a Special Adviser in charge of Communication and Strategy. These are good testimonies happening under the current governor.
“I knew the two personalities quite well and their competences and diligence to any duty they are saddled with. They will make Nigerians proud, particularly Mr President, who considered them worthy of being saddled with these huge national assignments “.
