The presidency has stated that the North is comfortable with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approach to governance in the region.
Naijaonpoint reports that the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, made this known in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
Recall that a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, had claimed that the north will work against Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
He accused President Tinubu of neglecting the North, saying that the president was cutting the region off from ongoing federal projects in the country. Lawal added that northern politicians will address the issues affecting the region and how they would approach the forthcoming election.
Reacting, Bwala stated that the northern region ‘is extremely comfortable’ with Tinubu’s government.
He said: “Northern Nigeria is extremely comfortable with the governance approach of Mr President, do you know why? he is solving the problems that are in the long time and the problems in the moment. You can see conscious efforts by the president through various policy.”
While noting that things were already getting better economically, Bwala pointed out that there is a separation between the outcry by Nigerians and the agenda cooked by opposition politicians.
