Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep Tanudeen Abbas has rejoiced with the Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo as he clocks 43, on Thursday, May 1.

In a birthday message issued through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, the Speaker described Tunji-Ojo as one of the stars in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.

Speaker Abbas noted that Tunji-Ojo, as Chairman of the House Committee on NDDC in the 9th Assembly, was a fine lawmaker, and has, “continued to trail the blaze in the Executive arm of the Federal Government.”

The Speaker recalled that Tunji-Ojo as member of the House, representing Akoko North-East/Akoko North-West Federal Constituency of Ondo State in the 9th and partly, in the current 10th National Assembly, was one of the pillars that strengthened the Federal Parliament, during his law-making years.
