Tinubu Backs Governors, Champions Agriculture as Nigeria’s Future
President Tinubu called on governors across Nigeria to ignore armchair critics and stay focused on delivering meaningful development to their people. He emphasized that performance, not rhetoric, defines leadership and that genuine accomplishments will naturally silence detractors.
While commissioning projects in Katsina, Tinubu praised the state’s progress under Governor Radda’s administration, especially in agriculture and infrastructure. He said these results serve as a template for others, highlighting the significance of the 24-kilometre Eastern Bypass and the newly launched mechanisation centre.

He stressed the need to move away from outdated agricultural practices and urged states to embrace modern techniques. The revival of the Bank of Agriculture is central to this agenda, enabling funding across farming scales.

President Tinubu’s message underscores a governance model rooted in delivery, resilience, and a renewed commitment to agriculture as a path to national prosperity.
