President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently blamed opposition politicians and previous administrations for Nigeria's hunger and poverty problems. In a speech at the APC presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna, Tinubu claimed his government was addressing economic mismanagement. Tinubu stated that those criticizing his administration were the ones who had created the issues.
He urged Nigerians to re-elect him in the 2027 presidential election, promising further economic recovery efforts. The president highlighted his administration's accomplishments, including prosperity, growth, and opportunities for citizens, particularly young people. Tinubu also defended the removal of fuel subsidies, stating it was necessary to combat corruption and economic leakages.
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani urged residents to support Tinubu's re-election, citing federal interventions in infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, and security. Sani highlighted the rehabilitation of the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road, resumed operations at over 300 schools, and the approval of the Kaduna metropolitan red-line rail project.
He also mentioned N84 billion allocated to the North-West region through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund.
