BTO Gets Presidential Endorsement as Mimiko, Oshiomhole Applaud His Reforms in Akure
Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo got a pat on the back from former governors Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo) and Adams Oshiomhole (Edo) for the various reforms delivered under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The two leaders spoke yesterday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally at the Akure Township Stadium, where party leaders gathered to rally support for the re-election of President Tinubu ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
“I will also recognise a minister who has done us proud in Ondo State by his performance in the job that the President has given him, and I am talking about the Minister of Interior of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hon Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, popularly known as BTO,” Mimiko said.
The former governor pledged to work with other leaders in the state to deliver votes for the President as well as all APC senatorial and House of Representatives candidates.
He also commended Tinubu for building consensus among the country’s political elite on major national issues, including the proposed establishment of state police.
Oshiomhole, who is the senator representing Edo North District, cited the minister’s reforms at the country’s airports and in passport administration as clear proof of the President’s reform agenda.
The senator said: “And the minister who has made it possible for me to pass through the airport just with my passport, without any immigration officer having to ask any question.
“When we say that the President is reforming Nigeria, we have huge evidence to that effect. The minister that issues passports from Nigeria to Chicago, to Japan, is here, and when the President needed not just a minister, he found one in BTO.”
