The Southwest Youth Parliament, has asked President Bola Tinubu to consider Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho as a replacement for the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu.

Temitope Joseph, Speaker of the parliament, made the appeal during a press conference.

While commending the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold step towards addressing matters that concern governance without compromise, Joseph noted that the President’s unwavering resolve has brought sanity into the Nigeria polity.

He said: “I bring solidarity greetings to you from the distinguished honourable members and leadership of the Southwest Youth Parliament SWYP.

“The Southwest Youth Parliament SWYP is a legislative and developmental Training institution, created to strengthen, reinforce and consolidate efforts in empowering young people through meaningful youth representation in driving Southwest development.

“His Excellency sir. the parliament once again seized this medium to commend you for the courage and bold steps geared towards sanitizing the Nigeria Political Space which is long overdue, we are proud of you and your achievements in this little time in office.

“His Excellency, Consequent upon the suspension of the Honourable Minister, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, we write to introduce and recommend a true democrat, Humanitarian, Philanthropist and true Omolabi to you for nomination as ministerial nominee for Humanitarian Ministry, Dr Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, a detribalized Nigerian. a young vibrant woman who has been on the field even before now discharging dutifully a job of a Humanitarian minister unofficially through her foundation- Queen Adenike Foundation. She has a track record of putting humanity first.

“His Excellency, She has through her foundation brought succour to many IDPs PWDs and the less privileged and this include and not limited to -giving of scholarships to the less privileged from primary school level to university level and under this scholarship scheme, she has over 300 students presently, regular taking of relief materials to prisons and equally release those with fine options by paying up their fines, she has provided wheel chairs for the crippled on many occasions. His Excellency, she has firsthand data on the IDPs, PWDs and Less privileged and she has been proffering solutions in her own little ways aforetime, sir, if given a public office, she will deliver in no distant time.

His Excellency, kindly note that the ministry is one of the ministries that will sell the Renew hope agenda of your administration as the dividends of democracy and that of good leadership brought to fore by your humble self will get mostly to the masses through this ministry, hence, we need a pellucid, trustworthy and capable hand to be at the helms of affairs of the ministry, therefore, we strongly recommend Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejuosho, his Excellency sir, when the masses have access to the deliverables of your office through this ministry, the masses then believe and trust your leadership and 2027 then becomes a walk over.

“Sir, we, the youth of the southwest region wish to bring to your notice that the ministry has been manned previously by a northerner and a south south person and they all did their best as limited in their capacity. Hence, it is imperative and beneficial to the masses and the president to have a round peg in a round hole by considering and appointing Dr. Halima Adenike Tejuosho as the Honourable Minister, Ministry of Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation as she has all it takes to sail the boat of the ministry to a safe harbour.

“Conclusively sir, we assure you of the unflinching support of the youth of the Southwest region now and always.

“While we look forward to celebrate her appointment when considered and announced by His Excellency, please accept the assurances of our parliament’s best wishes.”
