The Mimikay Political Movement, under the leadership of Hon. Akpososo Oghenekaro, has joined millions of Nigerians and well-wishers across the globe in celebrating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the occasion of his 74th birthday, describing the milestone as a moment to reflect on a lifetime of impactful leadership, resilience, and commitment to national development.
In a statement issued on behalf of the movement, Hon. Oghenekaro praised President Tinubu for what he described as “bold, visionary, and transformative leadership” since assuming office, noting that the President’s reform-driven agenda has begun to lay a sustainable foundation for Nigeria’s long-term economic stability and growth.
According to the group, President Tinubu’s administration has demonstrated courage in confronting some of the country’s most difficult economic realities, particularly through decisive policy actions aimed at restructuring the nation’s fiscal framework. The Mimikay Political Movement highlighted key reforms such as the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of the foreign exchange system, and efforts to boost internally generated revenue as critical steps toward repositioning Nigeria’s economy.
“While these reforms come with initial challenges, they reflect a leadership that is willing to make tough but necessary decisions for the greater good of the nation,” Hon. Oghenekaro stated. “President Tinubu has shown that true leadership is not about convenience, but about taking responsibility and steering the country toward a more stable and prosperous future.”
The group further commended the President’s commitment to infrastructural development, investment in human capital, and initiatives aimed at improving the ease of doing business in Nigeria. It noted that ongoing reforms in sectors such as energy, transportation, and digital innovation are gradually creating opportunities for economic expansion and job creation, particularly for the youth population.
The Mimikay Political Movement also acknowledged the administration’s efforts in strengthening governance structures and promoting transparency and accountability in public service. According to the statement, President Tinubu’s leadership style reflects inclusiveness and a willingness to engage diverse stakeholders in addressing national issues.
“Mr. President has continued to demonstrate a listening ear and an open-door policy, engaging with critical stakeholders across political, economic, and social sectors. This approach is essential in building consensus and fostering national unity,” the statement added.
Reflecting on the President’s political journey, the group described Tinubu as a seasoned democrat whose contributions to Nigeria’s democratic evolution remain significant. From his role in the pro-democracy struggle to his tenure as Governor of Lagos State, the movement noted that Tinubu has consistently exhibited strategic thinking and a passion for institutional development.
“As Governor of Lagos State, he laid the groundwork for what has become one of the most economically viable sub-national entities in Africa. Today, as President, he is replicating that vision at the national level,” Hon. Oghenekaro remarked.
The group emphasized that the President’s 74th birthday is not only a celebration of age but also a recognition of enduring service and sacrifice. It urged Nigerians to continue to support the administration’s policies, stressing that national progress requires collective patience, cooperation, and commitment.
“At this critical stage of our nation’s development, it is important for citizens to remain steadfast and supportive of ongoing reforms. The road to recovery and growth may be challenging, but with unity and shared purpose, Nigeria will emerge stronger,” the statement read.
The Mimikay Political Movement further used the occasion to reaffirm its loyalty and support to the Tinubu administration, pledging to continue mobilizing grassroots support for policies and programs that align with national development goals. The group reiterated its commitment to political enlightenment, civic engagement, and the promotion of good governance at all levels.
“We remain dedicated to our mission of building a politically conscious society that actively participates in governance and supports leaders who demonstrate competence and integrity. President Tinubu’s leadership exemplifies these values,” the group stated.
In its goodwill message, the movement prayed for continued wisdom, strength, and good health for the President as he continues to steer the affairs of the nation. It expressed optimism that under Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria will witness sustained growth, improved living standards, and enhanced global competitiveness.
“As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks his 74th birthday, we celebrate not just the man, but the ideals he represents — courage, vision, and unwavering commitment to national progress. We wish him many more years of impactful leadership and service to humanity,” Hon. Oghenekaro concluded.
The celebration of President Tinubu’s birthday by the Mimikay Political Movement adds to a growing chorus of commendations from political groups, civil society organizations, and individuals who have acknowledged the President’s efforts in navigating the complexities of governance in Africa’s most populous nation.
