The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, has called on politicians from the Northern Region to wait until 2031 for their turn to contest for president.
Akume made the call during his remarks at a two-day
Interactive Season on Government-citizens’ Engagement on Tuesday in Kaduna.
The event, with the theme “Assessing Electoral Promises:
Fostering Government-citizens’ Engagement for National Unity’, was organised by
the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation.
The SGF commended the foundation for providing a platform
where the citizens and government could sit and explore ways to enhance
governance, democracy and development.
He said the government of President Bola Tinubu had spent
two years and two months, adding that its achievements were fundamental and
remarkable.
The SGF said: “Tinubu promised impartiality in governance
and he has done that without breaking the promise.
There is a need to encourage someone who is doing well, so
that he can do more. There is a lot of misinformation in some aspects of the
media.
Tinubu has strengthened the security architecture in the
country, revitalised agriculture with progressive initiatives.
“We have witnessed intervention that led to reduction in
prices of food produce, improved food security and infrastructure across the
country.”
Akume said that Tinubu was on course to take Nigeria to the
promised land, adding: “I will urge politicians from the Northern Region to
wait till 2031.
“Do not join a group that will stagnant the various
developments achieved by President Tinubu.
“The president had positively touched all parts of the
country and every citizen.
“The removal of fuel subsidies has now provided more funds
to the government at the sub-national levels to carry out huge projects and
deliver quality dividends of democracy.”
The SGF explained that the Renewed Hope Agenda was not a
slogan but determination to restore hope to all the regions of the country.
He narrated some of the achievements in diplomacy and
foreign policies, transportation, job creation, education, tax reforms, Local
Government Autonomy, national security, sports, war against corruption, peace,
stability and others.
Akume added, “Tinubu has laid a foundation stone for New
Nigeria through visionary leadership and commitment to bring dividends of
democracy to all citizens and regions of the country without bias.
“Tinubu has appointed so many people from the Northern
Region to work with him, and they are doing well.
“The narrative that the North is not carried alone is not
true.
“The Super High Way from Sokoto to Bagary is longer than
that of Lagos-Calabar.
“However, the contract for a road, from Akwanga through Jos,
Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba and other parts of the Northern Region will soon be
awarded.
He reiterated that with the various developments in two
years and two months by Tinubu, patriotic politicians should jettison their
ambition for presidency till 2031.
He added that 2027 should not be in their minds, saying,
“this is because Tinubu has done so well and will continue in that line to
better the lot of the citizens and the country.”
