Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi has said that President Bola Tinubu should expect reciprocity from citizens of the state during 2027 elections.
The governor, apparently overwhelmed by the president’s gestures to the people, made this statement, while speaking at the official launch of the distribution of ATM cards to beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s second phase of the Cash Transfer programme in Dutse.
He noted that the Federal Government has initiated various policies and programmes through the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP) to tackle poverty and hunger across the country, including Cash Transfer, N-Power, School Feeding, and the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP).
The governor explained that under the second phase of the Conditional Cash Transfer programme, about 23,000 less privileged persons in the state will benefit, receiving N27,000 each.
According to him, “The launch of the second phase is in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Initiative,’ aimed at supporting the less privileged in society to improve their businesses.
“Our people have a good culture of repaying good deeds with good. I am sure the people of Jigawa will pay you back for what you have been doing for them.
“Therefore, on behalf of the beneficiaries in Jigawa State, we extend our appreciation to the Federal Government under Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the support, and we are confident that more of these initiatives will come.”
Governor Namadi emphasized his commitment to fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with the Federal Government, ensuring that Jigawa state continues to thrive under Tinubu’s leadership.
He reiterated that his administration remains dedicated to policies that uplift the welfare of Jigawa citizens, pledging unwavering support for national development initiatives.
