Former NAHCON Chair, Professor Abdullahi Saleh Pakistan, has expressed his belief that President Bola Tinubu should be re-elected to office. He attributes this to the numerous projects the federal government has undertaken in Kano State, totaling over N9 trillion. Pakistan also highlighted improvements in security, particularly in the North-East, where he believes reports of kidnappings and mass killings have decreased under Tinubu's administration.
He defended his earlier comments on kidnapping, clarifying that his stance was based on the inherited situation from the Buhari administration. Regarding the 2027 presidential election, Pakistan stated that he has not seen a convincing plan from Atiku Abubakar to tackle insecurity and has confidence in Tinubu's ability to handle the issue.
He also emphasized that Tinubu supported Buhari's re-election bid, despite opposition, demonstrating his commitment to the North. Pakistan, however, reiterated that he keeps his religious responsibilities separate from politics and does not use his religious position to influence political decisions.
