‎“Your Excellency, this appointment is a testament to your years of dedication to service and your enduring commitment to the advancement of our country. Your calm strength, wisdom, and motherly guidance have continued to inspire many within and beyond Oyo State.”

‎He expressed confidence that Chief (Mrs.) Ajimobi would bring honour to Nigeria in her new diplomatic assignment and strengthen bilateral relations between Nigeria and Austria.

Agbaje also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the confidence reposed in the matriarch, noting that her appointment reflects the administration’s recognition of capable Nigerians who can effectively represent the nation on the global stage.

“I congratulate Your Excellency on this well deserved appointment. I pray that Almighty God grants you sound health, wisdom, and success as you assume this important responsibility in the service of our nation.”
