Bichi: Power Will Return To North After Tinubu’s Second Term

Rep. Abubakar Bichi, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, has called on Northerners to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election, claiming that power will return to the North after the president serves his second term. Bichi argued that the North had already spent eight years in power under the previous administration of Muhammadu Buhari, while the South has only served four years under Tinubu.

In an interview with NAN, Bichi dismissed claims that Tinubu has neglected the North, stating that the region has benefited significantly from the administration's policies, infrastructure projects, and other interventions. He highlighted the impressive turnout at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rallies in the North as a testament to the people's satisfaction with the president's performance.

Bichi cited Jigawa State as an example, pointing to the approval of an N80bn Greater Dutse Water Project and ongoing and completed road projects in the state, such as the Kano-Hadejia road, which spans approximately 200 kilometres. He also mentioned that several irrigation projects have been completed in Jigawa, demonstrating the federal government's commitment to infrastructure development and agriculture in the region.

Bichi urged Northerners to reciprocate Tinubu's commitment to the region by supporting his administration and recognizing its achievements.
