Tijani Kayode Ismail (born 2 March 1983) is a Nigerian politician representing the Offa/Oyun/Ifelodun Federal constituency from Kwara State in the 9th and 10th Assembly. He contested and won the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives (Nigeria) ticket in 2019 and successfully defended his seat during the 2023 general election. Quotes It was President Buhari’s brilliant performance in the first four years that earned him the victory during the 2019 presidential election. Talk about any sector, Buhari has really done well. Is it in the area of education that you want to talk about or agriculture. Is it job creation or provision of infrastructure or improvement of the health sector, security and human development? To be honest, the president has performed well in all these areas. So, Mr. President deserves kudos for the first four years and I want to believe that in these next four years, he is equally going to perform beyond Nigerians’ expectation. Kayode interview response the question 'Nigerians are still complaining about the style of governance. How would you assess the president’s administration?' If not for President Buhari’s intervention in the governance of this nation, Nigeria possibly would have gone bankrupt by now. So, if anyone talks about hardship, I don’t know what they would have said if the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 presidential election, which halted Nigeria’s descent into the abyss and reversed its fortunes for good did not happen. For example, look at the outcomes of President Buhari’s war against corruption; a policy that has led to the retrieval of billions of naira stolen by officials of the immediate past administration in this country. Kayode interview response the question 'Nigerians have been subjected to hardship and more poverty under the current administration. Why is that?' No matter what Nigerians are saying, I can assure you that the hardship will be temporary. With the Next Level agenda of Mr. President in this next four years, I believe Nigerians are going to enjoy prosperity, good road networks, employment opportunities for the teeming youths and diversification of the economy from oil by way of encouraging agricultural activities. I am confident that the Federal Government will succeed in making the nation safe for everyone to live in, provide easy access to health facilities for Nigerians, and create greater access to education. Kayode interview response the question 'Nigerians have also been lamenting over the hardship brought about by several policies of the Federal Government, the closure of borders and ban on importation of rice, for instance. How do you see that?'] It has been very interesting and I am using this medium to assure my people that as I promised during the electioneering, I am going to represent them well. They will not regret having me as their representative in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. I also pledge that I will fulfill all my campaign promises, which is what they are all looking forward to. So far, within these few months, I have assisted a lot of youths to secure paid employments while some have also been assisted in other ways and plans are ongoing to sponsor meaningful bills that will bring rapid development to my federal constituency by way of making federal presence felt there. interview response the question 'You are four months old in the National Assembly as a member of the House of Representatives. What has been your experience so far?' ] External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:1983 births Category:Living people
