Ondo Acting Gov, Aiyedatiwa, Reacts To Tunde Ojo’s Appointment As Minister

The Ondo State acting Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has congratulated the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on his appointment.

Naija News reports that prior to his appointment as minister, Tunji-Ojo was a member of the House of Representatives from Ondo State, representing the Akoko North-East/North-West Federal Constituency.

The minister had earlier on Monday (today) tendered his resignation letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, hours before his swearing-in as minister.

The Ondo acting governor in a statement he personally signed, said Tunji-Ojo was well deserving of his new position due to his hard work and commitment to service.

The acting governor said “This appointment is a recognition of your (Tunji-Ojo) dedication to service and the impressive achievements you recorded while serving the good people of Akoko North-East/Akoko North-West Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, which earned you an overwhelming re-election victory earlier this year.

“You are a vibrant young man of class and courage who takes every assignment with commitment and diligence. I am confident that you will bring your wealth of legislative experience and managerial skills to bear on this new assignment entrusted to you by the President.

“Honourable Minister, as you embark on this huge task, I wish to assure you of the support of the Government and people of Ondo State, and I look forward to an industrious working relationship.

“My best wishes for your success as you take up the responsibilities and challenges of your new office. I have no doubt in your ability to give your best to the discharge of your duties in the Renewed Hope administration of Mr President.”
