The Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has reaffirmed strong backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his reform-driven administration, as the Nigerian leader marks his 74th birthday.
In a statement issued on behalf of his colleagues in the NSGF and made available to journalists in Gombe, Governor Yahaya described President Tinubu’s leadership as courageous, purposeful, and critical to Nigeria’s long-term stability and economic transformation.
He noted that since assuming office, the President has demonstrated uncommon resolve in implementing far-reaching reforms aimed at repositioning the nation’s economy and strengthening key institutions.
