Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Lagos State chapter, said President Bola Tinubu is synonymous with the June 12 phenomenon.

He said on Thursday in Lagos that this was evident in Mr Tinubu’s people-oriented reform agenda, emancipation.

Mr Ojelabi congratulated Nigerians on the occasion of Democracy Day and urged them to support the administration’s ongoing reforms to encourage the government to execute more people-oriented programmes.

Mr Ojelabi spoke during an interview on the sidelines of the Cherubim and Seraphim Society centenary celebrations.

The party chieftain described Mr Tinubu as a democrat whose nationalistic disposition dwarfed his shortcomings.

According to him, the president symbolises the struggle which took place 26 years ago and unified Nigerians in pursuit of their democracy dreams.

He said, “The expression in the MKO Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe ticket resonates in the present Tinubu-Shettima dispensation. It has continued to deliver to Nigerians reforms such as student loans and improved National Youth Service Corps members’ allowances. It has also manifested in the liberalisation of the oil sector to foster healthy competition essential to bringing prices down in the domestic market. Infrastructure development is being executed evenly nationwide to attract both local and foreign investments.’’

The politician said that the leadership of the nation was not unaware of some grey areas that required attention.

He said that efforts were being made to stamp out insecurity in the country with more investment in the nation’s military, adding that soon the security challenge would be history.

He said that the reforms of the present administration were segmented into short, medium and long terms.

According to him, when the long-term reforms mature, their derivatives would wipe out the sacrifices made to achieve them.
