From Villages to Cities: Tinubu Promises Inclusive Development Revolution
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his commitment to prioritising infrastructural development across every region of the country, emphasizing that such initiatives will be carried out in a fair and inclusive way that uplifts communities—particularly those in rural areas.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on Monday at the inauguration of the newly completed 15-kilometre A2–Pai Town Road in Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to balanced infrastructure development and national cohesion.
“Our government will continue to prioritise infrastructure across all regions,” Tinubu said. “We are determined to ensure that growth is not skewed, but inclusive, equitable, and aimed at improving the quality of life.”
The newly unveiled road connects Pai Town to the Abuja–Lokoja Expressway and is part of the 150 kilometres of road projects completed or ongoing across the FCT’s six Area Councils since Tinubu took office on May 29, 2023.
The President emphasised that infrastructure must serve the people to be meaningful. “Roads and infrastructure only matter when they bring real benefits—enhancing livelihoods and expanding opportunities. That is what we aim to achieve,” he stated.
He described the Pai road project as both symbolic and strategic, noting its importance in driving economic and social progress. “This road opens up new possibilities for agriculture, commerce, education, and mobility. It’s a vital link that strengthens the economy from the grassroots,” Tinubu added.
Acknowledging the historic neglect of rural communities, Tinubu said his administration was working to reverse that trend. “Pai and similar communities play a key role in Nigeria’s social and economic life, especially in food production and small-scale enterprise. Poor access and isolation have held them back for too long—but that story is changing today,” he declared.
Commending the FCT Minister for focusing on underserved communities, Tinubu urged residents to value and safeguard the new infrastructure. “You’re making a difference in rural areas. Let this road be a lifeline for farmers, students, and traders—a bridge to a better future,” he said.
The President also addressed the recurring conflicts between farmers and herders, calling for cooperation rather than division. “During my trip here, I saw the need for structured grazing to support peaceful coexistence between livestock owners and crop farmers. We must turn these challenges into shared economic opportunity,” he said.
He assured the Pai community of federal support to transform potential flashpoints into engines of prosperity. “We will stand with you. What once caused division can now become a source of growth,” Tinubu pledged.
The commissioning in Kwali came shortly after the President flagged off a mechanised farming initiative in Sheda, involving the deployment of 2,000 tractors to boost food production and rural development.

‘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.
