Penpushing reports that Kuoye made the declararion on Tuesday at a press conference held in his palace at Imaasayi,Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State to mark his 5th coronation anniversary, and equally expressed support for Tinubu’s second term ambition
The traditional ruler pointed out that a trip through Atan, Agbara, Olorule-Meji and Imeko-Afon along the coastal highway would provide evidence of the infrastructure development taking place under the Tinubu administration.
Penpushing further reports that he disclosed that he had been involved in politics under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and had always admired Tinubu because of what he described as his political track record and ability to groom other people.
The Olu of Imasayi equally acknowledged that the economic reforms being implemented by President Tinubu could take time to produce widespread benefits, stressing that there was no magic formula for transforming the country within a short period.
Penpushing also reports that the royal father said, previous administrations had made efforts to manage the economy, but the present administration was attempting to fundamentally restructure it, just as he expressed optimism that the economy would improve significantly in the coming years.
“Nigeria is better than where it was since Asiwaju Bola Tinubu became president. I want you to take a ride through Atan, Agbara, Olorule-Meji and Imeko-Afon on the coastal highway and follow the line to see what is happening there’, he said.
“Tinubu is now reconstructing and rehabilitating roads, and he is putting the Nigerian economy on a prosperous path. It might look like something small to us, but he is bringing the Nigerian economy onto the right path”, he said.
“Since when I was in the Peoples Democratic Party as a politician, I have loved President Bola Tinubu because of his track records. He is a politician. If we have about 10 of him in Nigeria politics, this country would have been better than this because he has been grooming people, and he doesn’t want to know you before he helps you’, Kouye added
“I want to tell you, yes, it might be too difficult to get there in four years because there is no magic. But to discover that Tinubu is getting it right in Nigeria, I want to tell you that in the next five years things will turn better’, he stated.
Penpushing reports that the monarch on Nigeria’s forthcoming 66th Independence anniversary, said Nigerians now had more reasons to celebrate, stressing that political tension was gradually reducing and economic activities were beginning to generate renewed interest.
The traditional ruler cited improved electricity supply as one of the developments pointing out that Nigerians could observe, and there had been no need to use a generator.
“Before, people would be saying, do we need to celebrate, and what are we celebrating? But now we have a lot to celebrate. The political tension also comes down. Nigeria is getting interest and we people are really enjoying it.”
“We have been here almost two, three hours. The light is okay. We are not using generator. It is electricity. It is part of it because the megawatts that is generating electricity for us is increasing,” he said.
Penpushing further reports that Kuoye in similar vein, advised Nigerian politicians to avoid desperation for political positions, stressing the importance of accepting that leadership positions are ultimately determined by God.
The monarch recalling his political experience as a former Vice Chairman of Ado-Odo Local Government, Ogun State said he declined an opportunity to continue in political office after his tenure, explaining that he later applied for employment and was eventually appointed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
Penpushing also reports that he emphasised that politicians should prepare themselves for life beyond elective or political appointments, adding that having an alternative career or source of livelihood would reduce desperation and unhealthy rivalry among political actors
The royal father urged politicians to return to their businesses and professions after completing their appointments or elective positions instead of continuously struggling for political office, and urged them to respect the timing of leadership, pointing out that no individual should believe that attaining political power must be achieved by all means.
“Every politician must have a second address. If you have a second address, you will take it lightly. You will not be fighting, you will not be maligning personalities, you will not be decreasing yourself if you have a second address,” he said.
“Politicians should go back to their business after the appointment or end of their elective positions, not that you apply in the office, you struggle to have another one. You must have a second address. I want everyone, the political actors, they must know that it is God that ordains. If it is not their turn today, tomorrow it will be their turn’, Kuoye added.
