The top lawmaker in Nigeria's lower house promised that Kaduna State will deliver huge vote numbers for the ruling party. Tajudeen Abbas told President Tinubu that his state plans to lead all northern regions in supporting the government during the next election cycle.
Abbas spoke directly against former governor Nasir El-Rufai who recently joined opposition groups trying to defeat Tinubu. The ex-governor claimed the president cannot win another term but the speaker disagreed completely with that prediction.
Kaduna gave the ruling party about 30 percent of valid ballots during the last presidential race. Abbas admitted this result seemed small but said it creates space for major improvements ahead. He believes Governor Uba Sani and local supporters will work hard to boost those numbers significantly.
The speaker praised Tinubu for visiting areas where people died and showing real leadership through personal action. He pointed out that Kaduna holds special importance in national politics and economic discussions throughout Nigeria's history.
Abbas stressed that federal infrastructure projects have helped Kaduna residents in practical ways. He argued that voters have strong reasons to stick with the current administration rather than switch to different candidates or parties.
