A prominent support group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State has thrown its weight behind Governor Mohammed Umar Bago and Senator Sani Musa, declaring them worthy of re-election for another term in office.
The group, under the aegis of the APC Grassroots Mobilization Network, made the endorsement during a strategic meeting held in Minna on Tuesday, citing the duo’s impressive performance, developmental strides, and commitment to the welfare of the people of Niger State.
In a communique signed by its Coordinator, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim, and Secretary, Hajiya Aisha Mohammed, the group highlighted Governor Bago’s transformative leadership since assuming office.
“Governor Mohammed Umar Bago has redefined governance in Niger State,” the communique stated.
“His administration has prioritized infrastructure development, agricultural revolution, education, healthcare, and security with visible results across the three senatorial districts.
“From massive road constructions and urban renewal projects in Minna and other major towns to the revitalization of agricultural value chains that have boosted food production and empowered farmers, Bago has delivered on his promises.”
The group specifically praised the governor’s efforts in attracting investments to the state, improving the ease of doing business, and his proactive approach to tackling insecurity through community engagement and enhanced collaboration with security agencies.
On Senator Sani Musa, who represents the Niger East Senatorial District, the APC group lauded his legislative contributions and constituency outreach programmes.
“Senator Sani Musa has been a strong voice for Niger State at the Red Chamber. His quality representation is evident in sponsored bills and motions that address critical national and state issues, as well as numerous empowerment and developmental projects executed across his constituency,” the statement added.
The group noted that Senator Musa’s consistent support for Governor Bago’s developmental agenda has created a harmonious working relationship that is benefiting the people.
They described the senator as a “reliable bridge” between the state and the federal government.
“Changing leadership now would amount to a setback. Governor Bago and Senator Sani Musa have laid a solid foundation. They deserve the opportunity to build upon it for the next four years.”
