The immediate past Deputy Senate President, and 2023 Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has celebrated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the auspicious occasion of his 73rd birthday.

Omo-Agege, the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta state and Obarisi of Urhoboland, lauded Tinubu for abandoning what he described as his transformative leadership style.

In a heartfelt tribute, Omo-Agege, the Obarisi of Urhoboland, highlighted Tinubu’s governance style, crediting his tough decisions with laying the foundation for Nigeria’s long-term progress.

This was contained in a statement issued by Omo-Agege’s Media Adviser, Sunny Areh
Media Adviser.

Omo-Agege described Tinubu’s leadership as a departure from short-term, deal-driven politics, focusing instead on sustainable growth and national renewal.

Omo-Agege was quoted as saying: “Rather than choose to retain a system that would have earned him immediate applause while hastening the decline of the national economy, President Tinubu took the bold decisions to halt the drift and chart a new course for enduring growth. It is an admirable and inspiring decision that has put Nigeria back on the trajectory of sustainable development.

“Tough decisions needed to be made and the president did not shirk that responsibility. Being tough decisions, some came with seeming challenges, but we have to stay the course. We are lucky to have a man who is vision-driven and focused. It has already become clear that the tough decisions were imperative as the economy has been pulled back from the brink.”

Omo-Agege called on Nigerians to continue to support Tinubu’s transformational programmes, saying: “What the country needs is for all stakeholders to shun all political considerations and join President Tinubu in restoring prosperity to the country.

“As the President marks his 73rd birthday, I assure Nigerians that the country is in safe and competent hands. On behalf of my family and the All Progressives Congress (APC) family in Delta State, I celebrate President Tinubu on his birthday and wish him many fruitful years of service to Nigeria,” Omo-Agege added.
