PNT Delighted Over Presidential Commendation of Interior Minister, Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo

October 2, 2025

The Progressives Network for Tinubu (PNT) expresses profound delight at the recognition accorded to the Ministry of Interior by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his Independence Day broadcast. This singular mention is not only symbolic but also a testament to the outstanding leadership of Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO).

BTO has never been a stranger to excellence. As Member representing Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, he redefined representation by facilitating critical infrastructure such as transformers, solar-powered streetlights, ICT centres for schools, scholarships, and development projects that touched the lives of his constituents.

Today, as Minister of Interior, he has carried the same reformist zeal to the national stage. His sweeping reforms in passport issuance have cut through bottlenecks, eliminated middlemen, and restored dignity to Nigerians seeking international travel documents. His interventions in correctional services, fire service, and civil defence are equally restructuring the ministry into a hub of efficiency and accountability.

The PNT affirms that Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has become one of the strongest assets of the Renewed Hope Agenda and a formidable pillar in the administration of President Tinubu. His continued delivery of results is not only a gain for the present but also a pointer to the kind of leadership Nigeria must consolidate on as the nation approaches the 2027 elections.

We therefore encourage him to remain steadfast, knowing that his work has become a rallying point for performance-driven governance. His recognition by Mr. President is richly deserved and further cements his value to the future of our nation.

Signed,
Pastor Olumide Obadele
