A prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) figure and former Chairman of Kano Municipal Local Government, Faiz Alfindiki, has defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s performance in northern Nigeria, dismissing criticism as politically motivated propaganda.
Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday, Alfindiki asserted that more than half of the federal government’s major national projects—over 52 percent—are situated in the northern region, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to the area.
According to the APC chieftain, the government is currently executing road projects spanning more than 1,400 kilometers across the North, with a combined value exceeding N7.21 trillion. He described these initiatives as clear evidence that the region is receiving significant attention and investment.
Alfindiki urged the public to focus on tangible achievements rather than misleading narratives. “The era of propaganda and misinformation is over. Real development is driven by action, planning, and dedication—not empty noise,” he stated.
His remarks come as the 2027 general election approaches, with President Tinubu seeking a second term. Notable political figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Kano Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso have expressed interest in challenging Tinubu for the presidency.
The chieftain cautioned against allowing politically driven stories to overshadow the administration’s achievements in the North, emphasizing that measurable progress should be the basis for assessment.
