The communiqué further stressed the need for greater commitment to transparency, fairness, and equity as crucial factors in strengthening national unity and sustaining democracy.

“The government demonstrated openness to dialogue and continuous citizen engagement. The administration’s delivery of electoral promises in security, infrastructure, and economic reforms was high and commendable. Northern Nigeria contributes significantly to national stability, development, and electoral outcomes,” the communiqué read.
The statement emphasised ongoing major infrastructure projects in the northern part of the country, including highways, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline, oil exploration at Kolmani, and rural irrigation schemes.
Dangata mentions what Tinubu should prioritise
Meanwhile, a former aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) national youth leadership, Ahmad Abba Dangata, has called on President Tinubu to focus his administration's attention on key national priorities.
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Dangata said the president should concentrate on strengthening security, boosting domestic investment, and improving infrastructure.
“As a true fan of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a full-time APC member, I want him to prioritise security, domestic investment, infrastructure, education, and empowerment,” Dangata said.
He noted that addressing these core areas would not only consolidate democratic gains but also enhance the quality of life for Nigerians. Dangata added that Tinubu’s administration has the political will and popular mandate to drive meaningful change across the country.
Legit.ng notes that the APC-led federal government has faced growing pressure to curb insecurity, revive the economy, and expand educational and employment opportunities amid rising inflation and youth unemployment.
