By PHC Telegraph
President Bola Tinubu has reinforced his bid for a second term, telling the people of Jigawa State that his administration intends to carry its development agenda “all the way to 2031”.
In a message following his visit to Dutse, the President linked his political ambition to promises of higher agricultural productivity, increased farmers’ earnings and wider opportunities for young Nigerians.
“Together, we will take this work further, all the way to 2031!” he declared.
Tinubu’s message followed Tuesday’s visit to the Jigawa capital, where he commissioned projects and attended the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally at the Dutse Township Stadium. The Presidency confirmed that the engagements took place on November 10.
Opening his message with “Jigawa! Nagode sosai!”, the President thanked residents for the reception accorded him and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
“I am still smiling from Dutse,” he wrote, recalling that the welcome had even got him dancing.
The President highlighted the inauguration of 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, saying his thoughts were on the food the equipment would help produce and the income farmers could earn for their families and communities. The agricultural equipment inauguration was also reported by Voice of Nigeria.
He said skills centres were equipping young people with trades, while improved roads were opening access to markets for farmers and traders.
“For us in the APC, shared prosperity means our farmers earning more, our young people finding opportunities, and more families sharing in Nigeria’s progress,” Tinubu stated.
He commended Governor Umar Namadi for his partnership and service to Jigawa residents.
At the Dutse rally, Tinubu also presented the APC campaign manifesto, From Reforms to Prosperity, and pledged further support for small-scale farmers through financing, mechanisation and irrigation, according to the State House.
The visit also brought outstanding needs into focus. Namadi requested federal intervention in ecological challenges affecting Dutse and Hadejia, which he said had become too difficult for the state government to handle alone.
