In his New Year message, Honourable Oke described the beginning of a new year as a moment for gratitude, reflection, renewal of hope, and recommitment to shared national values. He noted that despite the challenges faced by individuals, communities, and the nation at large, Nigerians have continued to demonstrate resilience, faith, and an unbreakable spirit.
“I congratulate my dear constituents in Obokun and Oriade, our party faithful in the All Progressives Congress, my associates, supporters, and indeed all Nigerians on the gift of a new year. I pray that 2026 will usher in good health, peace, prosperity, and divine favour for every household and community across our land,” he said.
Honourable Oke emphasized that the new year presents an opportunity for renewed commitment to nation building and collective responsibility. He urged citizens to support policies and programmes of government at all levels, noting that constructive engagement and cooperation are essential for transforming reforms into tangible benefits for the people.
“As citizens, we must understand that governance is a shared responsibility. I urge Nigerians to support the policies of the government of the day so that those policies can truly yield dividends for the people. When reforms are embraced with patience, dialogue, and goodwill, they stand a better chance of delivering lasting positive outcomes,” he stated.

Let us remain hopeful, patient, and constructive in our engagement,” Honourable Oke added.
He further reminded Nigerians that leaders, like all citizens, are human and in need of prayers, encouragement, and cooperation to effectively discharge their responsibilities.
“Our leaders are human beings too. They need our prayers, support, and cooperation. Let us not only demand accountability but also extend goodwill and understanding, so that leadership can be exercised in an atmosphere of trust and shared purpose,” he said.
