“You Even Got Your President Dancing!” – Tinubu Hails Jigawa Residents, Assures More Gains

President Bola Tinubu has thanked the people of Jigawa State for the warm reception accorded him during his visit to Dutse, assuring them that his administration will sustain efforts to improve agriculture, create opportunities for young people and promote shared prosperity.

Tinubu, who visited the state alongside Vice-President Kashim Shettima, said the reception was memorable, particularly the moment residents got the President dancing during the event.

In a message to the people of Jigawa, Tinubu said: “I am still smiling from Dutse. You welcomed Vice President Shettima and me like family, and you even got your President dancing! Today was special.”

The President highlighted the commissioning of 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, saying the agricultural equipment would improve food production, increase farmers’ incomes and strengthen rural communities.

“When I commissioned those 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, I thought of the food they will help put on your tables, the income our farmers will earn, and what that prosperity will mean for their families and communities,” he added.

Tinubu also pointed to the establishment of skills centres and improved road infrastructure as part of efforts to expand economic opportunities in the state.

According to him, the skills centres are already equipping young people with vocational knowledge, while better roads are providing farmers and traders with improved access to markets.

The President said his administration’s vision of shared prosperity under the All Progressives Congress (APC) was anchored on improved livelihoods, employment opportunities and broader participation in Nigeria’s economic progress.

“For us in the APC, shared prosperity means our farmers earning more, our young people finding opportunities, and more families sharing in Nigeria’s progress,” he stressed.

Tinubu commended Governor Umar Namadi for his partnership and service to the people of the state, expressing appreciation to residents for their support and prayers.

“To Governor Umar Namadi, thank you for your partnership and service to the people of Jigawa.

“And to the wonderful people of Jigawa, I carry your love and prayers back to Abuja with me,” he assured.

The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustaining its development efforts, declaring: “Together, we will take this work further, all the way to 2031!”

And, ended the message with the Islamic expression of gratitude, “Alhamdulillah.”
