President Bola Tinubu dismisses opposition coalition, as ‘political refugees’ struggling for relevance.
He made this remarks during the inauguration of projects in Nasarawa State, where he also downplayed opposition efforts, and urging his supporters to ignore them.
“Just don’t pay them any attention. They are the political IDPs. Don’t give them a home. The hope is here,” he said.
While applauding the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule for his developmental achievements,
President Tinubu assured the governor of his administration’s backing to drive state development.
“Sule is doing well. We will support whatever Governor Sule brings about to work harder for the prosperity and renaissance of Nasarawa State. That is what we stand for.”
Governor Sule while expressing gratitude to Tinubu’s support of the state, urged the President to leverage his influence to kick-start comprehensive oil and gas development in Obi Local Government Area.
“In 2023, there was an exploration well that was going on in the Obi Local Government Area of the state. There has been a discovery of hydrocarbon in excess of one billion.
“We are asking you, Your Excellency, to ensure that they come back and drill the next exploration well, the appraisal well, and the development package so that we can start producing oil from that site,” he said.
“We are telling you that this is the best for the country. We’ll become another Saudi Arabia if we have a deep onshore operation so that we can have integrated oil and gas facilities similar to what they have in Saudi Arabia so that we can do exploration, production, refining as well as gas and power production and be able to export finished products to other countries,” the governor concluded.
