Pastors from Rivers State have commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing their patron and former Osun State Works Commissioner, Engr. Omowaiye Oluremi, as the Executive Director, Project Implementation in the Federal Housing Authority (FHA).

The pastors also restated their confidence in the capacity of Tinubu to navigate through the economic difficulties and usher in a prosperous country for all.

The pastors under the auspices of Rivers United Pastors for Tinubu (RUPT) in a statement recalled that through the efforts of Oluremi, they defied all odds in 2023 to campaign for the President in the South-South.

The pastors in a statement signed by their Coordinator, Pastor Sunday Edimeh, said they had never regretted working for Tinubu’s emergence.

Edimeh said Tinubu had already assembled experts and experienced professionals in various fields to work in repositioning and reviving collapsed institutions inherited by his government.

He described the appointment as well deserved, adding that Oluremi was not only loyal to Tinubu’s presidency but also understood the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President.

“When it was almost a taboo for Christians to identify with Tinubu in the South-South during the campaign in 2023, Oluremi galvanized over 100 pastors in Rivers State, sold the Renewed Hope Agenda and we bought into it and took the message to our churches.

“We appreciate Mr. President’s efforts, his policies and his commitment to reposition the economy. We know it is tough now, but soon, his policies will surely yield the desired fruits and end the current hardship we are experiencing. Nothing good comes easy. We appeal to Mr. President to keep working hard to get us out of the current economic difficulties”, he said.

Edimeh said as priests in their various churches they would continue to pray for President Tinubu to succeed in his difficult journey of evolving a prosperous economy.
