The governor of Gombe State, Inuwa Yahaya has said that there has been conspicuous evidence of progress across the North since President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.
Yayaha said this while speaking at a two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna.
He said that the North will also back President Tinubu’s re-election bid following the efforts he is making towards developing the region.
According to Yahaya who doubles as the chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum, Tinubu has delivered on his electoral promises to the region.
He added that some of the reforms initiated and adopted by the Tinubu administration are yielding a huge impact across various sectors of the economy in the Northern region.
He said, “When candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu stood before us during the 2023 campaign, he made specific commitments to Northern Nigeria. The north, believing in President Tinubu’s vision, voted strongly for him, contributing to over 60% of Tinubu’s winning votes.
“Today, we gather not for empty rhetoric, but to examine those promises and assess the level of progress so far.
“What we find is an administration that has delivered meaningful results for our region despite facing significant national challenges. I make bold to say that the evidence of progress is visible across our region,” Inuwa said.
