Governor Mai Mala Buni on Sunday said President Bola Tinubu deserves a second term in 2027, citing his administration’s recorded achievements.

Mr Buni stated this while speaking at the All Progressives Congress North-East Consultative Forum meeting held in Gombe.

He noted that Mr Tinubu has provided effective leadership for Nigeria, navigating local and global challenges to ensure the country moves forward.

Mr Buni said Tinubu introduced reforms over the past two years aimed at placing Nigeria on the path of growth and national development.

According to the governor, Mr Tinubu’s policies and programmes need more than four years to achieve meaningful implementation and continuity.

He stressed that Mr Tinubu’s return in 2027 would help sustain and build upon these ongoing reforms for the country’s benefit.

On security, Mr Buni noted that Mr Tinubu’s administration has taken new steps to address insecurity in the North East region.

He said such steps would enable residents to return to their farmlands, boosting food sufficiency and strengthening food security.

“In the last two years, President Tinubu’s administration introduced bold reforms to improve citizens’ lives,” Mr Buni stated.

He acknowledged these reforms have brought difficulties and challenges, but they also present renewed hope for a better future.

“These policies require strategic planning and time and one term may not be enough to fully implement them. To deliver lasting results, more than one term may be needed for effective and efficient execution of these initiatives,” Mr Buni added.

The Yobe governor urged residents of the North-East to continue supporting the federal government and security agencies in their efforts to achieve lasting peace in the region.

He then called on the APC North-East Forum to endorse Mr Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election to complete the administration’s agenda.

Governor Babagana Zulum also praised Mr Tinubu’s efforts in addressing insecurity in the North-East.

Mr Zulum noted that Mr Tinubu’s government is restoring peace in the region, with the results of those efforts becoming increasingly visible.

He supported the Yobe governor’s call for Mr Tinubu’s return in 2027 to maintain progress in various sectors across the country.
