Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for another term in office, citing the Federal Government’s reforms and programmes as reasons for continued backing.
Sule said President Tinubu had, in his assessment, done enough to merit re-election, while expressing confidence that the administration would retain political support ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The governor’s comments form part of the growing political debate over the record of the Tinubu administration and the competing positions of political actors ahead of the next general election.
Sule Highlights Tinubu Administration
The Nasarawa governor has previously defended Tinubu’s reform agenda, including policies surrounding the removal of fuel subsidies and the redistribution of resulting revenues to states and local governments.
In earlier remarks, Sule also linked defections by political figures to what he described as the appeal of Tinubu’s reforms.
His latest comments similarly focus on the administration’s policies and projects as part of his argument for continued political support.
2027 Political Contest
Tinubu is seeking another term in the 2027 presidential election, while opposition parties and candidates are also positioning themselves ahead of the contest.
Sule’s comments represent his political assessment of the administration’s performance and his position on the forthcoming election.
The debate over Tinubu’s record is expected to remain a central issue as parties develop their campaign messages and voters assess the government’s economic, security and infrastructure policies ahead of 2027.
