A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, has expressed satisfaction over the performance of President Bola Tinubu since his May 29 inauguration, saying he has proved beyond doubt that he prepared for the office long before his election.
The former lawmaker representing Ika Federal Constituency in Delta State paid tribute on Friday in the congratulatory message sent to Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, over his new appointment.
Ojougboh, who was a former National Vice-Chairman (South-South) of the Peoples Democratic Party before he defected to the APC in 2019, also pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with the new administration.
“We know that Tinubu is prepared for the job, and we do not doubt that Gbajabiamila will also help him deliver on his promises to Nigerians.
“I, however, appeal to Nigerians to have faith in the Tinubu government and give it time to birth a new nation with a renewed hope of prosperity and development,” the Delta grassroots politician said.
Continuing, Ojougboh hailed the appointment of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, saying he was the right man for the job.
While pleading with Gbajabiamila not to betray the trust of the president, the APC chieftain further urged him to remember that his new position was also a reward for his loyalty over the years.
“You are surely the right man with proven track records for the office and your appointment is well deserved. Your efforts and loyalty to Tinubu over the years have never been in doubt. You sure deserve every honour you are getting today.
“Please use your wealth of experience to help the president deliver his campaign promises to Nigerians. I assure you of my support. But be reminded that you are holding your present position in trust for the people who have high expectations from President Tinubu’s presidency,” he stated.
