The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, Jimoh Ibrahim, has praised President Bola Tinubu over his recent visit to the United Kingdom, describing it as timely.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Ondo South senator said the trip came at a period of shifting global alliances, adding that Nigeria must remain active in international engagements.
He said Tinubu’s meeting with Charles III reflected the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and the UK.
According to him, the visit would strengthen cooperation in areas such as trade, investment and security.
“President Tinubu has demonstrated that Nigeria can engage effectively across geopolitical divides, leveraging historical alliances while advancing modern national priorities.
“His actions are precise, timely, and strategically sound. Without doubt, history will be kind to him,” Ibrahim said.
He added that Nigeria’s diplomatic efforts align with the objectives of the United Nations in promoting peace, cooperation and sustainable development.
Ibrahim said stronger engagement with key partners such as the United Kingdom reinforces Nigeria’s role as a stabilising force in Africa and a credible voice in the international system.
He noted that the visit was not merely ceremonial but a calculated effort to strengthen Nigeria’s global positioning and advance its foreign policy direction.
