The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has declared that the people of Kaduna State are fully in support of Tinubu’s re-election as president in 2027.
This was contained in a statement by the his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Krishi quoting the speaker’s remark during Tinubu’s visit to Kaduna State on Thursday to commission some projects executed by the Governor Uba Sani administration.
The projects included; the Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development in Rigachikun, Soba, and Samaru-Kataf; a 300-bed state-of-the-art hospital in Kaduna Millennium City; the 24km Kafanchan Township Road; the Tudun Biri Road; the 22km Kauru-Pambegua Road linking Kauru and Kubau LGAS; the Vocational and Skills Training Centre in Tudun Biri; and the launch of 100 Compressed Natural Gas buses.
Abbas said; “Kaduna has no reason to vote for anyone else in 2027. My belief is strengthened by your administration’s commitment to Kaduna in very practical terms. You have initiated a wide range of federal infrastructure projects that directly impact the state of Kaduna.
“Mr President, Kaduna has long been at the centre of Nigeria’s national conversation, politically, economically, and historically. In the 2023 presidential election, the APC received about 30 per cent of the valid votes cast in the State. While that outcome is significant, it leaves room for growth.
“Therefore, on behalf of our governor, our party, and our communities, I assure you that Kaduna is determined to do more. Our goal is to double that margin and secure at least 60 per cent of the vote in 2027. This is not merely a political ambition; it is a coordinated objective backed by a united political structure and a population that believes in your leadership.”
The speaker further lauded the President for the reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Federal Highway, which he flagged off in April.
“Equally significant is the ongoing $2.8bn Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project, which has reached a 72% completion rate as of the end of the first quarter of 2025.
“We also acknowledge with deep gratitude your vow to complete the Ibadan-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano railway project, which will further reinforce Kaduna’s role as a transport hub.
“Other significant projects under your administration include the recent establishment of the Federal Medical Centre in Kafanchan and the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia. For the people of Southern Kaduna, these developments are not merely about access to health and education; they are, more importantly, about federal presence, institutional recognition, and long-overdue inclusion.”
During his remark also, the head of the Green legislative chamber said Zaria has also seen measurable progress, made possible by Tinubu’s support and federal backing.
He noted that his home town has secured significant federal investment in institutions of higher learning through Tinubu’s consistent legislative engagement and collaboration with his administration.
“These include the upgrade of the Federal College of Education, Zaria, into the Federal University of Education. Support has also been strengthened for the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, and the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
“Federal funding secured under your administration is helping to expand their infrastructure, modernise their facilities, and increase their capacity to serve Nigeria more effectively.
“Mr President, these are not abstract achievements. They are deliberate outcomes made possible through political will, budgetary support, and executive collaboration,” he said.
