Member representing Agege Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Wale Ahmed, has declared that President Bola Tinubu’s second term is “guaranteed,” urging opposition parties to abandon plans of unseating him in 2027.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ briefing on Monday at the Agege Local Government Secretariat, Ahmed said it would only be fair for Tinubu, from the South, to complete two terms, just like his predecessor, the late Muhammadu Buhari, from the North.
Ahmed said, “Late President Muhammadu Buhari, from the North, served two terms, so Tinubu should also have his second term. By God’s grace, his second term is assured. I will mobilise my constituents to ensure Tinubu is returned for another term.
“All his opponents should rest and allow him to have a second term. All opposition should simply rally round and support Tinubu.”
The lawmaker also defended Tinubu’s controversial fuel subsidy removal, saying the policy reflected courage and a long-term vision for the economy.
According to him, the “financial re-engineering” of the country was already yielding results, including an increase in foreign reserves to over $40bn, rising foreign direct investment inflows, a reduction in inflation, and the disbursement of ₦90bn in student loans.
Ahmed further highlighted ongoing infrastructural projects such as the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, Sokoto–Badagry superhighway, and the Abuja–Kano dual carriageway rehabilitation, which he described as evidence of the administration’s development drive.
“Tinubu’s foreign trips are yielding Nigeria respect abroad. The Sokoto–Badagry expressway had been on paper for 40 years until this administration took up the project. It will open up villages and benefit people across different states,” he said.
On his stewardship, the lawmaker listed various constituency projects, including youth and women empowerment programmes, borehole and streetlight installations, food palliatives, medical outreaches, classroom construction, skill acquisition schemes, and scholarships.
The event was attended by Agege Local Government Chairman,Tunde Azeez; his Orile-Agege counterpart, Abiodun Idowu; traditional rulers, market leaders, and community representatives, who commended Ahmed for delivering dividends of democracy.
