TINUBU ASKS STATE GOVERNORS TO PRIORITIZE WELFARE OF THEIR PEOPLE

President Bola Tinubu on Friday told state governors to put the people at the heart of every programme and avoid distractions, assuring them that their results would speak.

“Let the people be at the heart of your programmes. Your hard work and concrete achievements will answer any criticism. Ignore distractions—your results will speak for you,” Tinubu said in the first leg of his two-day visit to Katsina State.

The President commissioned a 24 km road, which Governor Dikko Radda completed within 18 months and the Katsina Agricultural Mechanised Centre. The road commissioned was the Eastern Bypass, which stretched from Dutsin-ma Road through Kano and Daura Roads and terminated at Yandaki in the Kaita Local Government Area.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, revealed details of the engagement in a statement he signed late Friday titled ‘Ignore armchair critics; your results will speak for you, President Tinubu tells governors.’

He urged them to disregard armchair critics who merely seek to distract from the work.

“We have decided on peace and stability. I know you face terrorism and banditry attacks in the state, but you have shown determination and courage to move Katsina State forward. You will not walk alone. The Federal Government will be with you,” he added.

President Tinubu noted that hunger and poverty remain the biggest threats to peace in the country.

“The economy is sailing in the right trajectory. Today, we are seeing an effort to banish hunger and a commitment to food security and the empowerment of our people. Small and large-scale farming will be encouraged. Once we liberate ourselves from hunger, we will appreciate peace and harmony.”

President Tinubu also noted that hunger and poverty remain the biggest threats to peace in the country.

“The remarkable progress in the state will continue to be rewarded. I want to assure the Nigerian public that agriculture is the heart of our progress and must be for all.
