The Campaign for Dignity Governance has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it described as a highly strategic and intelligent political decision in the choice of Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, noting that the move reflects deep foresight, experience, and an exceptional understanding of governance dynamics.
In a statement issued in Lagos, the Convener of the group, Razaq Olokoba, described the President as a visionary leader whose decisions continue to demonstrate a rare level of political intelligence and commitment to national development.
According to Olokoba, the selection of Hamzat stands out as one of the most significant political decisions in recent times, not only because of the individual involved but because of what the choice represents in terms of continuity, stability, and institutional strength.
“This decision is not accidental; it is deeply rooted in experience, foresight, and a clear understanding of governance. President Tinubu has once again demonstrated that he is a leader with exceptional political intelligence, one who makes decisions based on long-term national interest rather than short-term considerations,” he stated.
The Campaign for Dignity Governance noted that Kadri Obafemi Hamzat has consistently proven himself as a brilliant public officer, with a track record of competence, discipline, and commitment to service. Over the years, he has played a critical role in governance, particularly in Lagos State, where he has contributed significantly to policy implementation and administrative stability.
Olokoba described Hamzat as a bridge builder — a leader who possesses the rare ability to connect ideas, institutions, and people across different levels of governance.
“Hamzat represents stability, intellect, and continuity. He is a bridge between policy and execution, between leadership and the people. His presence in governance brings reassurance that systems will work and that progress will be sustained,” he added.
The group further emphasised that the decision reinforces confidence in the continuity of governance structures, particularly in preserving and strengthening the achievements of the current administration in Lagos under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
It noted that the progress recorded in areas such as infrastructure, transportation, housing, and public service delivery in Lagos must be protected and built upon, and that leaders like Hamzat are well-positioned to ensure that such legacies are not only sustained but expanded.
“The dream of a greater Lagos and a stronger Nigeria will not be lost under his watch. This is a choice that guarantees continuity, stability, and progress,” Olokoba said.
He further noted that the decision reflects goodwill and a genuine commitment to national development, describing President Tinubu as a leader who understands the importance of placing capable and trusted individuals in positions where they can make meaningful impact.
According to him, leadership is not only about vision but also about the ability to identify and empower the right people to execute that vision effectively.
The Campaign for Dignity Governance also stated that the decision provides a sense of reassurance to citizens, particularly in a time when consistency and stability in governance are critical.
“With leaders like Hamzat in strategic positions, Nigerians can sleep with their eyes closed, knowing that governance is in capable and responsible hands,” Olokoba added.
The group concluded by reaffirming its confidence in the President’s leadership and decision-making capacity, noting that such choices will continue to strengthen institutions, promote good governance, and drive sustainable development across the country.
