President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has emphasized the vital role that state governors play in Nigeria’s development, stressing that their leadership is crucial to achieving food security, economic growth, and overall national prosperity.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking during a New Year visit from Vice President Kashim Shettima and members of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) at his Ikoyi residence, Tinubu expressed gratitude for their support and cooperation. He also highlighted key areas that require stronger collaboration between the federal and state governments to ensure the nation’s progress.

“You are the most critical link to Nigeria’s prosperity,” Tinubu told the governors. “The federal government only controls about 30 to 35 percent of the nation’s revenue; the rest is managed by you. The agricultural value chain relies on you as you control the land and drive the work forward.”

The President called for enhanced collaboration on critical challenges, including local government autonomy, agricultural growth, and currency stability. He also reassured the governors, dispelling rumors of any disagreements over local government autonomy.

“We will not fight among ourselves,” Tinubu said. “I will lead the change, but you control the local governments. Let’s work together to restore hope by fulfilling the expectations of the people at the grassroots level.”

Tinubu also encouraged governors to prioritize agricultural development, noting that a focus on the sector would be key to economic stability. “We must work harder, produce more, and stabilize the currency. With consistent effort from all of us, Nigeria will prosper,” he stated.

Recognizing the efforts made by governors across the country, the President said, “There’s no state where we cannot be proud of its development. We have better allocations now. Let me take the criticisms, and you take the benefits. Together, we will build a nation we are all proud of.”

Reflecting on the 19 months of his administration, the President expressed confidence in Nigeria’s potential, given the leadership and resilience shown by the government. “I’m happy to have taken on this job, and I’m grateful that Nigerians gave me the mandate. We are on this journey together,” he affirmed.

Tinubu also announced plans to visit Enugu State on January 4 as part of his ongoing state visits.

Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, Chairman of the NGF and Governor of Kwara State, encouraged the President to visit more states to witness the transformation firsthand. He also assured the President of the governors’ continued support, particularly in enhancing national security.

“I may not have served two full years yet, but I’ve already completed more projects in this time than in the four years of my first term,” Abdulrazak said. “We’re receiving more funding due to the restructuring of the economy, and despite inflation, we’re overcoming it.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
