No vacancy in Aso Rock – Barau, Ganduje

The foundation for Tinubu’s endorsement was laid when the Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, asked, ”Aso Rock?” and the crowd responded, “No vacancy.”

Barau said, “It is clear in 2027, we will have a landslide victory, Insha Allah. So, let us continue on the way we are going. Let us cooperate with one another, work with the president, work with everybody, cooperate amongst ourselves to have the desired victory.”

Senator Barau further said the defection of some leaders of  opposition parties to the APC was a result of President Tinubu’s performance barely two years in office.

Similarly, Ganduje said President Tinubu is committed to developing the North West, the entire northern region and Nigeria by extension, and therefore deserves a second term of office.

He said the commitment has been demonstrated through the president’s several intervention projects, ranging from infrastructure to agriculture to social development across the northern region.

Ganduje emphasised that the establishment of the North West Development Commission was a clear indication that the president loves the North West region.
