Addressing the mammoth crowd of party faithful at Dutse Township Stadium, the President said his administration is strengthening the security agencies to protect lives and property across the country.

” I promise you, we are working hard to ensure that Nigeria is safe and our forces are well taken care of, regardless of where they come from.

“We will conquer insecurity. We’ve been through many wars. We will defeat our enemies. Enemies of unity, Enemies of stability. Enemies of hope. I assure you that we are doing that.

“We’re strengthening the police; we’re strengthening the armed forces. We are paying better salaries today,” President Tinubu said.

He presented the All Progressives Congress campaign manifesto, “From Reforms to Prosperity,” outlining his administration’s achievements and plans in infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture and security.

He said the manifesto provided a blueprint for consolidating economic reforms, expanding opportunities and delivering shared prosperity.

The President pledged to complete ongoing programmes and projects, noting that the administration’s policies were already yielding results across several sectors.

He defended removing the wasteful fuel subsidy. He said political rivals advocating for its return are only trying to deceive Nigerians, questioning how they would fund developmental projects if elected.

The President assured the people of a better future, saying withdrawing the wasteful petroleum subsidy has made several laudable projects across the country’s geopolitical zones possible.

“You have seen what we are doing. Across the country, no region is left behind. Those who think they should bring the subsidy back are liars.

“How will they pay for those commitments? How will you repair the roads? How will you maintain them? How will you function, President Tinubu queried.

President Tinubu also pledged further support for small-scale farmers through financing, mechanisation and irrigation.

“We will reward small-scale farmers. Interest-free loans for farmers are coming. Prosperity is coming. Food security will happen,” he said.

Thanking the people of Jigawa for their loyalty and support, the President urged them to participate actively in the forthcoming general elections and vote for APC candidates at all levels.

Before the rally, President Tinubu commissioned the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multi-Purpose Skills Acquisition Centre and the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre. He also virtually commissioned the three-kilometre dualised Old Police Station–Palace Road in Dutse.

The President also commissioned 400 tractors and other agricultural equipment procured by the state government to support mechanised farming and strengthen food sufficiency and security.

In his welcome address, Governor Umar Namadi commended President Tinubu’s development initiatives in Jigawa and across Northern Nigeria.
