The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, has called on politicians from the Northern Region to wait until 2031, for them to contest for president.

Akume made the call during his remarks at a two-day Interactive Season on Government-citizens’ Engagement on Tuesday in Kaduna.

The event, with the theme “Assessing Electoral Promises: Fostering Government-citizens’ Engagement for National Unity’, was organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation.

The SGF commended the foundation for providing a platform where the citizens and government could sit and explore ways to enhance governance, democracy and development.

He said that the government of President Bola Tinubu had spent two years and two months, adding that its achievements were fundamental and remarkable.

The SGF said, “Tinubu promised impartiality in governance and he has done that without breaking the promise.

“There is a need to encourage someone who is doing well, so that he can do more.

“There is a lot of misinformation in some aspects of the media.

Tinubu has strengthened the security architecture in the country, revitalised agriculture with progressive initiatives.

“We have witnessed intervention that led to a reduction in prices of food produce, improved food security and infrastructure across the country.”

Akume said that Tinubu was on course to take Nigeria to the promised land, adding: “I will urge politicians from the Northern Region to wait till 2031.

“Do not join a group that will stagnate the various developments achieved by President Tinubu.

“The president had positively touched all parts of the country and every citizen.

“The removal of fuel subsidy has now provided more funds to the government at the sub-national levels to carry out huge projects and deliver quality dividends of democracy.”

The SGF explained that the Renewed Hope Agenda was not a slogan but a determination to restore hope to all the regions of the country.

He narrated some of the achievements in diplomacy and foreign policies, transportation, job creation, education, tax reforms, Local Government Autonomy, national security, sports, war against corruption, peace, stability and others.

Akume added, “Tinubu has laid a foundation stone for New Nigeria through visionary leadership and commitment to bring dividends of democracy to all citizens and regions of the country without bias.

“Tinubu has appointed so many people from the Northern Region to work with him, and they are doing well.

“The narrative that the North is not carried alone is not true.

“The Super Highway from Sokoto to Bagary is longer than that of Lagos-Calabar.

“However, the contract for the road, from Akwanga through Jos, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba and other parts of the Northern Region will soon be awarded.

He reiterated that with the various developments in two years and two months by Tinubu, patriotic politicians should jettison their ambition for the presidency till 2031.

He added that 2027 should not be in their minds, saying, “This is because Tinubu has done so well and will continue in that line to better the lot of the citizens and the country.”

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the event brought together all appointees in the Tinubu administration from the Northern region of the country to interact with the citizens, including the agency’s Managing Director, Malam Ali M. Ali.

And what was Buhari achievement when the same Notherners voted for him the second term?

Let the South have for 8 years like Buhari did, if you don't won't Tinubu again, then back Peter Obi from the South. It is not even like the present set of politicians from the North have sensible thing to offer apart from the same old way of looting and retrogressing the same North.
