Jigawa Governor Umar Namadi is calling on Nigerians to keep Bola Tinubu’s administration in power beyond 2027 to continue its economic reforms. He made the call on Saturday in Gumel at the start of the campaign for the Jigawa North-West senatorial district, according to Vanguard.

Umar Namadi urged voters to support All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in 2027, from the presidency to the State House of Assembly, to ensure the continuity of reforms launched by Bola Tinubu, according to Vanguard. He believes their continuation should improve living conditions and economic prospects for Nigerians.

The governor particularly highlighted Tinubu’s agricultural reform, which he said aims to make farming more profitable for farmers. He said the president wanted farmers to earn a real income from their work and claimed that Jigawa would benefit from the policy.

Namadi also said renewing the APC’s mandate would help consolidate gains and complete ongoing reforms. He also said his government had made significant progress since coming to power in 2023.
