Tinubu has Northern Nigeria at heart — Gov Inuwa Yahaya

Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown genuine love and commitment to the development of Northern Nigeria, particularly through his investments in the livestock sector.
The governor made this statement on Saturday during the ground-breaking ceremony of a 184-hectare Agro-Livestock Industrial Zone in Gombe State.
According to the Governor, no northern leader in nearly five decades had invested as much in the livestock value chain as President Tinubu has done within his first year in office.
He said, “If not for a President who loves his people and has the capacity and will, this transformation would not have happened. No northern leader in 47 years of power considered investing ₦120 billion to transform the livestock sector, despite it being a predominantly northern industry.”
Yahaya praised President Tinubu’s administration for initiating programmes that are already bringing positive changes across the country, especially in agriculture and livestock development.
He noted that the Agro-Livestock Industrial Zone being established in Gombe is part of the president’s broader plan to boost food security, create jobs, and grow the economy.
“The president approved ₦120 billion for the development of the livestock sector and has already released 50 per cent of the funds. This is a clear indication of his commitment to the economic well-being of our people,” the governor said.
He also assured President Tinubu of the full support of Gombe people ahead of the 2027 elections.
“I assure the President that for what he has done, is doing, and will do, Gombe people will follow him to the battlefield blindfolded. We will work for his success in 2027. By God’s grace, his re-election is assured.”
Gov. Yahaya urged Nigerians to remain patient, adding that although current reforms may come with temporary hardship, the long-term benefits under President Tinubu’s leadership will be worth the wait.

Anti-party: Why Wike, others were not punished at PDP NEC meeting – Reps caucus Chairman, Agbedi

Chairman of the South-South Caucus of the House of Representatives, Hon. Fred Agbedi, has revealed why the likes of former Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike was not sanctioned during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, Wike is not the only member of the party that has committed and is still committing anti-party, adding that even to date, some leaders of the party were campaigning for the incumbent government.
However, the lawmaker said the PDP now understands the kind of crisis it is going through and is trying to resolve.
He said that there is every indication that the PDP, known to be the main opposition party in Nigeria, will emerge stronger, united, and well-organised ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking about internal conflicts and anti-party activities even by some governors elected on the party’s platform, the lawmaker explained that the party’s focus is on rebuilding its structure for now and will not be chasing those individuals.
“It’s not about Wike alone. It is beyond Wike. You know, there are a lot of others who have played anti-party in one way or the other, who are members of PDP, who are saying, ‘No, no, no, I’m going to support so-and-so person, I’m going to vote for so-and-so person.’
“That’s clearly anti-party. But because PDP understands the kind of crisis it is going through and is resolving, it will not be chasing those people.
“Rather, it will organize itself first before it thinks of the appropriate way to deal with matters like that.
“There are certain decisions that if you are the leader, you cannot take in a hurry. You take time, you navigate the contour in such a way that if you are taking a decision, the decision will lead you to land safely.
“As of today, I don’t think that the priority of PDP will be to drive one person or the other out of the party.
“We know those who are playing some excessive roles, some actions that are inimical to the destruction or survival of the party.
“We’re taking note. And I’m sure that at the appropriate time, appropriate actions will be taken by the party.”

2027: Atiku’s eyes on ADC ticket, PDP may be forced to back him – Sambo

The Director of News and Politics Editor of Arise Television, Sumner Sambo, says the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is planning to secure a presidential ticket for former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Sambo stated this on Monday’s edition of ‘The Morning Show’.
According to him, people are also saying that if Atiku gets the ADC ticket, and things go very well for him, then PDP in one way or the other, may be forced to support his presidential bid.
“The major problem of the ADC right now is that INEC has not even listed David Mark as the national chairman of the ADC, and Atiku hasn’t picked the party’s membership form,” he said.
Ekwutosblog recalls that Atiku had assured his followers that he would be running for the presidency in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking through one of his spokespersons during the 2023 presidential election, Tunde Olusunle, the former Vice-President said he would run again in 2027 because Nigeria needs to be saved from the Intensive Care Unit under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
