Tinubu’s Policies lay foundation for Better Nigeria — Tumsah

From Abel Zwanke.

A political stakeholder in Yobe State, Kashim Musa Tumsah, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as being firmly on the right path toward building a better and more inclusive Nigeria, urging citizens to sustain their support for the current government beyond 2027.

Tumsah stated this on Monday during a stakeholders’ meeting with his supporters drawn across political parties in Yobe State, where discussions focused on the political future of the state ahead of the completion of Governor Mai Mala Buni’s second term in office in 2027.

According to him, the Tinubu administration has restored public confidence in governance by expanding civic participation, strengthening democratic institutions and laying the foundation for long-term economic and political reforms.

“This administration has given Nigerians a stronger voice in governance, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is clearly on the right direction toward building a better Nigeria. 

“What is required at this stage is collective support to consolidate the gains already made,” he said.

He stressed that Yobe State must rise above partisan sentiments and align with national policies that promote unity, stability and sustainable development.

“Yobe has come of age politically. We must speak with one voice and align ourselves with a national direction that promises enduring dividends of democracy, especially for our people at the grassroots,” Tumsah added.

The development advocate, who has spent over three decades supporting community-based initiatives across Yobe State, is widely recognised for his interventions in education, clean water provision, rural electrification and empowerment programmes.

He explained that his decision to join the race for the Yobe governorship was informed by persistent appeals from traditional rulers, elders, women and youth groups across the state, who believe his record of service should be institutionalised through public office.

“I did not initially set out to seek political office. However, the overwhelming calls from the people to sustain and expand these development interventions compelled me to heed the call to serve,” he stated.

Political observers note that Tumsah’s growing influence and cross-party appeal are reshaping political conversations in Yobe State, with his development-driven message gaining traction as the 2027 governorship election approaches.
