Members of the coalition plotting to unseat him are on a futile mission, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said yesterday.
He described them as politically displaced persons, saying they will only end up unseating themselves.
President Tinubu spoke in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, during his one-day working visit to inaugurate legacy projects executed by Governor Abdullahi Sule.
Speaking at the town hall meeting with stakeholders afterwards, the President said: “Those who have triggered the politics with a coalition suddenly, let’s not pay them attention, they are political IDPs.
“Don’t give them room; the hope is here. Sule is doing well.
This is what we stand for. I’m not here for a political campaign, but who is a politician that will keep quiet when gangsterism is coming with a coalition to unseat themselves?” he said
President Tinubu commended Sule for his giant strides in all sectors of the state’s economy.
“I can see the mechanisation efforts of the governor, the improvements in rice production and many others.
“Yes, we will work with you to ensure values are added to your mineral resources.
“Don’t rely on solid minerals and forget agriculture.
“We are going to make agriculture profitable and interesting for all of you, the youths and women.
I can see hard work coming from Governor Sule.
“He is determined to use resources available to him for the benefit of Nasarawa State.
“Sule is doing well. Bola Tinubu is doing well too,” he said
Sule thanked the President for making time to visit Nasarawa State to inaugurate what he described as legacy projects despite his tight schedule.
He told the President that he was able to start and complete all the projects without borrowing any kobo due to the increased resources available to the state following the removal of the petrol subsidy by the President.
He said the flyover and underpass inaugurated in Lafia will be replicated both in Akwanga and Keffi, as work on those projects has reached advanced stages.
Sule thanked the President for appointing sons and daughters of Nasarawa into his government.
