Senator Adams Oshiomhole has said the President Bola Tinubu-led administration would leave a legacy of being the one that turned the socio-economic and political fortunes of the nation around.
The former national chairman of the APC said Tinubu was already laying a solid foundation for development.
He added that that the president broke the jinx in FCT ministerial appointments by appointing Nyesom Wike as its minister.
“This singular move shows that anyone can become the minister regardless of their birthplace, tongue and dialect. For me, one of the ground-breaking decisions President Tinubu has taken is to give every part of Nigeria a hope that regardless of your birthplace, tongue or dialect, you can be the Minister of the FCT.
“Many people didn’t think it was possible. We give thanks to God for giving us such a president that opens his doors for anyone who wishes to see him and who has information to share. We give thanks to God for having a president who has listening ears for whoever has something to tell him.
“One tree cannot make a forest; the quality of ministers and the leadership they provide in their respective ministries are what translate to whether the government performs or not.
“May this government be credited as the one that fixed what others could not fix.
“This will not be a government of lamentation, but one that will do what others failed to do,’’ Oshiomhole said.
He also lauded President Tinubu for appointing Abubakar Momoh as the Minister of Niger Delta Development, saying it was a honour done to Edo.
Oshiomhole said Tinubu had shown courage and consistency with the assurance that “every Nigerian counts and is entitled to become anything in any part of Nigeria.’’
According to him, it is only under President Tinubu that a citizen of Edo has been appointed as Minister of Niger Delta Development.
