The state government has declared Tuesday a work-free day to enable residents to participate in the scheduled activities.

Governor Umar Namadi announced the presidential visit on Monday, describing it as Tinubu’s first official visit to Jigawa since assuming office in May 2023.

Speaking with journalists in Dutse after inspecting the projects and the venue for the campaign rally, Namadi expressed satisfaction with the level of preparations ahead of the President’s arrival.

He said the inspection covered all the locations where the projects would be commissioned, as well as the rally venue, adding that Jigawa was fully prepared to receive Tinubu.

The governor, however, disclosed that government officials and representatives of the Presidency were still making some adjustments based on observations during the inspection.

According to Namadi, the President is expected to inaugurate the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre, the state’s agricultural mechanisation programme and a dualised road in Dutse.

He explained that the agricultural mechanisation initiative comprises 400 tractors, 60 combine harvesters, 150 boom sprayers and 150 seeders, alongside other equipment aimed at improving agricultural productivity across the state.

Namadi noted that although several other projects had been completed in the state, only four located within Dutse metropolis were selected for inauguration because of the President’s limited time.

He explained that the selected projects were relatively close to one another, making it easier for Tinubu to commission them within his available schedule.

The governor also assured residents that adequate security arrangements had been made ahead of the visit.

He disclosed that he had held meetings with security chiefs and members of the state security committee to review and strengthen security measures for the President’s visit.

Namadi subsequently appealed to residents to come out in large numbers to welcome Tinubu and participate in the scheduled APC campaign rally.

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.

The singer made the statement on Saturday during a live performance at Rehab Lounge in Calgary, Canada.

While performing his hit song True Love, 2Baba paused to interact with the audience and playfully asked the women present to identify where his true love was.

He jokingly wondered whether she was standing at the back of the venue or somewhere in front of him before making a remark about his experiences with women.

The award-winning musician told the audience that he had stopped getting women pregnant, adding that he had been making the same confession wherever he performed recently.

He said, “For the purpose of this show, I will pretend like I’ve never seen anything before. Where’s my true love? Is she back there? Is she right here? Is she somewhere here? Where’s my true love? You people shouldn’t put out me for trouble.

“As I said, some ladies they fear to shout. See, everywhere I go these days, I make this confession. As I say, some ladies they fear to shout. I say, I don’t fear to shout. Because I don’t stop to dey give woman belle. Ask anyone, they’ll tell you, I don’t do such thing things again.”

The singer’s comment comes amid public interest in his personal life and relationships.

2Baba was previously married to Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The couple announced their separation in January 2025 after having two children together.
