President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, assured the Nasarawa State Government of the federal government’s continuous support in developmental projects, particularly, in the solid minerals and agricultural sector.
Tinubu who made this assurance when he visited the Emir Of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage Muhammad, in the Palace said Governor Abdullahi Sule’s careful resource management has earned the trust of the federal government and investors.
“I am happy to be back here in Nasarawa and to confirm what the Emir told me during the campaigns in 2023 that I will be back as President of Nigeria. Thank you. You are a highly far-sighted individual, a committed Nigerian of high integrity and jurisprudence, ” he said.
Commending Governor Sule and the Council of Traditional Rulers for the peace, stability, and progress in the state, he pledged to work harder to actualise all the promises of the Renewed Hope Agenda adding, “All I have decided is to ensure a change for the future and the best.”
President Tinubu emphasised that the Renewed Hope Agenda will reposition the economy to benefit young Nigerians and future generations adding, “We have seen it in Gov. Sule. We just commissioned an interchange, and he told us he did not borrow a penny for completion.”
President Tinubu thanked the governors for their consistency in pursuing the vision of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aims to rebuild lives and the nation stating, “Seeing the governors here is truly an emotional day for me. Thank you for the way you showed up with grace and glory. Thank you for keeping your loyalty intact.”
The Emir, who is also the Chairman of the Nasarawa State Council of Chiefs, extolled President Tinubu’s leadership style, particularly for transforming the Nigerian economy saying, “Your Excellency, our President, our friend, our everything. You are welcome back to this hall. It started here when you came in some years ago. Like I said, you were here twice during the campaign. We were lucky; the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, was on an official tour of the state. And I told him: Your Excellency, one of the best among them, is Tinubu because we are living witnesses. We were in Lagos during our days at the Court of Appeal. During his term in office as Governor of Lagos, we saw how he turned around Lagos and made Lagos what it is today. our Excellency, you are translating the same into the Nigerian economy, and before you leave office, Nigeria will be great again.”
The Emir pledged his support and that of the Emirate for the President.
