Wednesday, July 30, 2025 - The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, said President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled most of the promises he made to the North and would do more.
Idris stated this on Tuesday when he featured on a live
Hausa language phone-in programme “Hannu Da Yawa” on Radio Nigeria Kaduna and
monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said, ” Before the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu
came to the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation and made some promises on
security, education and agriculture to the North.
“Same foundation invited us to their two-day interactive
session on Government-citizens’ Engagement with the theme ‘Accessing Electoral
Promises: Fostering Government-Citizens Engagement for National Unity’.
“Let it be known that when he won the election, Tinubu kept
his promises to the North; he appointed so many people from the North to work
with him in his administration.
“They included the Minister of Defence, National Security
Adviser, Chief of Defence Staff, Ministers of Agriculture, Women Affairs,
Health, Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, myself and many others; in fact, we
are more than 60 from the north working with Tinubu.
“This is two years into his administration and we are at the
foundation with over 20 ministers and others to narrate all the promises
fulfilled and some remarkable achievements touching not only the north but the
whole country.”
Idris said there have been some misinformation that Tinubu
had sidelined the North, saying, ” but today, we have demonstrated and seen
that such narrative is not true.
“In fact, he has done so well for the North.”
The minister stressed that the team would continue to
sensitise the people, especially those in the North about the outstanding
achievement recorded by the Tinubu’s administration.
