President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has described opposition parties challenging his administration as forces working against Nigeria’s stability, national unity and development.
Titiansloaded reports that the President made the remarks on Tuesday during a visit to Jigawa State, where he also appealed to Nigerians to renew his mandate in the 2027 general elections, promising to intensify efforts to tackle insecurity and deliver more infrastructure and development projects across the country.
Tinubu maintained that his administration had not neglected any part of the country, insisting that different regions had benefited from interventions in agriculture, education, employment generation, road construction and other critical sectors.
Defending his decision to remove the petrol subsidy, the President argued that the policy had created the financial conditions necessary for Nigeria to pursue development, stressing that the country would not have recorded its current level of progress without the reform.
He also pledged to expand agricultural production and strengthen farming activities in Jigawa and other parts of the country if given another four years in office.
During the visit, Tinubu inaugurated four major projects executed by the Jigawa State Government. They included the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Skills Acquisition Centre, the dualised 3.5-kilometre Garu Road, the distribution of 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, as well as the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre in Limawa, Dutse.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony held at Dutse Township Stadium, the President said the projects reflected the commitment of his administration to creating opportunities and improving living conditions for Nigerians.
In his response, Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, praised Tinubu for attending the commissioning and recognising the development initiatives undertaken by his administration.
Namadi described the President’s visit as an important moment for the state, saying his presence and assessment of the projects had strengthened their joint commitment to improving the welfare of residents through effective governance.
The governor expressed appreciation for Tinubu’s support and encouragement, which he said would motivate his administration to continue pursuing its development agenda.
He also noted that combining the commissioning of major infrastructure projects with the launch of the 2027 APC presidential campaign rally demonstrated how political commitments could be matched with tangible development.
According to Namadi, the activities highlighted the connection between Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Jigawa’s 12-Point Agenda for a Greater Jigawa.
He said aligning the two programmes would help increase productivity, improve livelihoods and promote sustainable development, while creating lasting economic opportunities for future generations.
