GOV NAMADI PRAISES TINUBU’S BOLD REFORMS, CALLS FOR GREATER SUPPORT AHEAD OF 2027
Governor Malam Umar Namadi has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for taking what he described as bold and difficult decisions in the national interest, particularly the removal of the fuel subsidy and the unification of the exchange rate.
The governor spoke on Thursday at Government House, Dutse, while receiving a delegation of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, led by the managing director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Mr. Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi.
The delegation was in Jigawa State to inaugurate the movement’s state chapter and present 31 campaign vehicles to support its grassroots mobilization activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Governor Namadi said the president’s reforms had improved the financial resources available to state governments, strengthening their capacity to pay salaries, meet pension obligations, and implement development projects.
He stated, however, that the increased resources must translate into tangible benefits for citizens, including more jobs, improved access to food, infrastructure, and better opportunities.
The governor described President Tinubu as a nationalist who serves the interests of Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic backgrounds, as he urged the movement to intensify public engagement, saying that many citizens were yet to fully understand the president’s policies and achievements.
According to him, direct engagement with voters, listening to their concerns, and explaining the administration’s record are important to building public understanding and support.
Governor Namadi also recalled the president’s recent visit to Jigawa, saying the reception and enthusiasm shown by the people reflected the level of support for his leadership in the state.
He assured the delegation that Jigawa would work with the movement towards the success of President Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.
He also appreciated the movement’s founder for providing the 31 vehicles to strengthen its mobilization efforts.
Earlier, Mr. Pondi said the movement was established to mobilize grassroots support for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 and to take the administration’s policies and achievements directly to the people.
He explained that the movement would engage citizens in their homes and communities, listen to their concerns, and communicate their feedback to the relevant authorities.
Mr Pondi said the 31 vehicles were equipped with public address systems, generators, amplifiers, and microphones to support the campaign, as he outlined plans for door-to-door, mosque-to-mosque, church-to-church, farm-to-farm, and community-to-community mobilization.
He added that the delegation’s visit to Jigawa was part of a nationwide mobilization effort and said the movement had visited approximately 23 states.
