2027: TINUBU AGAIN MOVEMENT HOLDS NORTH-EAST ZONAL ENGAGEMENT MEETING, SAYS PRESIDENT TINUBU ADMINISTRATION IMPROVED SECURITY, ECONOMY, AND THE LIVES OF ORDINARY NIGERIANS
The Director-General of the Tinubu Again Movement has declared that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has achieved a lot, citing some of the government’s interventions as key reasons for the Movement’s continued mobilisation ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
“I came here from Abuja by road and arrived in Bauchi at about 3:30am, Before now, travelling at such an hour would have been difficult because of security concerns. This is to show the security has improved, not only in Bauchi State but across the North-East,” He said.
He made this declaration yesterday Thursday, October 8, 2026, in Bauchi State during the North-East Zonal Engagement Meeting of the Tinubu Again Movement, organised as part of the Movement’s ongoing consultations and mobilisation activities ahead of its formal inauguration.
The Director-General also cited the completion of a world-class Radio Diagnostic Centre at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi, as one of the interventions of the Federal Government under President Tinubu to the good people of Bauchi State.
According to him, the facility is an important step towards improving access to advanced medical diagnostic services and reducing the need for residents to travel outside the country for that need.
“The facility is one of the 10 world-class diagnostic centres approved by the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthen healthcare delivery.
He further added that the healthcare intervention, and other federal government initiatives, formed part of the reasons the Movement founded and convened by the former Governor of Zamfara State, H.E Bello Matawalle, MON, was advocating continued support for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, across the nation.
On security, the Director-General cited the approval of two Army formations in Alkaleri and Tafawa Balewa Local Government Areas of Bauchi State as evidence of the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening security and responding to the region’s security challenges.
He maintained that, measures taken by the President Tinubu administration to improve the operational capacity of the Armed Forces of Nigeria include a recent salary increase ranges from 30 per cent to 80 per cent for approximately 250,000 Armed Forces personnel, effective September 1, 2026, expansion of the Nigerian Army from eight to twelve divisions and the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel. All these are measures taken by President Tinubu to strengthen national security and improve the country’s response to security threats.
Speaking on the removal of the fuel subsidy, the Director-General noted that monthly statutory allocations to state governments had increased considerably. However, he also called for the restoration and consistent publication of detailed breakdowns of Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) disbursements to state and local governments, according to him, that would empower citizens to know how much their respective state governments and local government councils receive, and enable Nigerians to assess how public resources are being utilised.
On education, the Director-General commended the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing it as an important intervention aimed at reducing financial barriers to tertiary education and expanding access to educational opportunities for students from less privileged families.
The Director-General maintained that the Movement would continue to engage stakeholders, community leaders, political actors and supporters across the North-East to communicate its position on the administration’s policies, achievements and reforms ahead of 2027 January 16, Presidential election.
