Rousing welcome for Senate President in Yobe

Published

on


The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Monday, received a rousing welcome from an excited crowd in his constituency in Yobe state.

Lawan, who departed Abuja on Monday, was on a thank you visit to his constituents, the first time since his emergence as President of the ninth Senate in June.

Lawan flew from Abuja to Dutse airport in Jigawa State where he was first received by the state officials before he proceeded on road to neighbouring Yobe State to meet his constituents in Yobe North senatorial district.

Yobe North senatorial district comprises of six local government areas of Nguru, Machina, Karasuwa, Yusufari, Jakusko and Bade.

Lawan was greeted by a large turnout and accorded a heroic welcome as his convoy pulled up at the headquarters of three of the six Local Government Areas that makes up the Yobe North Senatorial district.

The security men had a hectic day controlling the crowd which intermittently halted the convoy and compelled Lawan out of his vehicle, all in a desperate bid to catch a glimpse of their illustrious son who has brought honour and fame to their community.

Lawan, beaming with smiles in his blue Babanriga, occasionally waved at the surging crowd of party supporters who lined up the routes, some mounted on trucks, waiting for several hours.

Lawan’s first port of call was the Palace of Emir of Nguru where he was conferred with a chieftaincy title of Mukaddam of Nguru by the Emir, Alhaji Mustapha Ibn Mai Kyari.

After a sympathy visit to the recently burnt market and flooded community in Nguru, Lawan addressed his party leaders.

He thereafter proceeded to Machina and later headed to Jajimaji before he eventually arrived in his native home of Gashua late on Monday.

Lawan on Tuesday continues his thank you visit to the other three Local Government Areas of Yusufari,

Jakusko and Bade.

“I thank God Almighty for giving me the opportunity to visit my senatorial district after a while since I was elected President of the Senate in June,” Lawan told journalists at his residence in Gashua.

“This will be the first time I’ll be back home because of the demands of the office. I am so happy and pleased.

“Above all, I’m very grateful to the people of my senatorial district for the very warm and rousing reception that I received in all the three local governments visited so far.

“The visit has given me more reason to feel that we have a very good understanding, and also the needed connection to work as I have done over the years to keep my people happy by building on trust and integrity,” Lawan said.

The Senate President was full of appreciation to the people of Yobe State, particularly the State Governor, Mala Buni, and his predecessor, Senator Ibrahim Geidam and all the leaders of the ruling All Progressive Congress in the state.

“The people of Yobe State, across political shades, prayed and fasted for me to be elected into the office of President of the Senate, and I’m happy we were able to make it.

“Now that work has started, I need more prayers as I want to remain focused on the job as it is one that requires that I get the advice of my people in the state.

“I want to urge them to continue to pray for us at the National Assembly, particularly in the Senate, for us to continue to perform optimally.

“As an institution, we have a lot to do to support the executive arm of government led by President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver on the dividends of democracy and our campaign promises to Nigerians.

“So, I’m happy to be back, especially knowing also that the people of Yobe believe in their son.

“I have no reason not to do what is right, as they have shown trust and commitment to this cause and I want to tell them that I will remain resolute and focused as I intend to work hard to achieve the desired goals.

“With the support that I’ve received so far from my colleagues, I think we will achieve a lot in the 9th Senate. I also believe that Nigeria will have a better National Assembly, and a working legislature at the federal level that will in turn allow Nigerians have a better deal in terms of the development of the country,” Lawan said.

The statement noted that Buratai, who served as Chief of Army Staff and later as ambassador, had throughout his career demonstrated discipline, professionalism and respect for constitutional authority.
According to Mohammed, the retired lieutenant general has consistently expressed support for the Tinubu administration and its Renewed Hope agenda, particularly in the areas of national security, youth empowerment and national cohesion.

 

He said, “Gen. Buratai remains a committed Nigerian statesman who has always placed national interest above personal politics.”
The statement further described reports linking Buratai to alleged anti-government activities as “baseless, politically motivated and aimed at creating unnecessary division.”

Mohammed urged Nigerians to disregard what he called attempts at blackmail and misinformation, insisting that Buratai’s public record and engagements reflect his continued support for the current administration.

“His actions and public record speak louder than online rumours,” the statement added.
The supporters also called on the public to remain focused on issues that promote national development and unity rather than social media speculation.

General Buratai Backs Son’s Political Ambition, Calls For Greater Youth Inclusion In Governance

 

Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has urged Nigerians to support young people in pursuing their dreams and taking active roles in politics, as he publicly endorsed the political ambition of his son, Tukur Buratai Jnr.

Buratai, a former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, made the call in a statement shared on his verified Facebook page, where he expressed support for his son’s decision to contest for the Biu Constituency seat in the Borno State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress⁠�.

According to the retired military chief, Nigeria’s future depends largely on its youthful population, stressing that excluding young people from governance and leadership would hinder national growth and development.

He noted that Nigerian youths should not merely be regarded as leaders of tomorrow, but as active contributors and solution providers capable of shaping the country’s future today.

Buratai further emphasized the need to create opportunities and an enabling environment for young Nigerians to thrive politically, economically, and socially, describing youth inclusion as critical to nation-building.

The endorsement of Captain Buratai Jnr, a pilot, is being viewed by political observers as a symbolic transfer of leadership ideals, discipline, and patriotism from one generation to another.

His candidacy is also expected to inject youthful energy and fresh perspectives into legislative representation in Biu Constituency ahead of future political contests.

As preparations gradually begin towards the next electoral cycle, Buratai’s message is likely to resonate among young Nigerians seeking greater participation in governance and public service.
