- Dogara asseted that the projects would engender economic growth, create jobs and enhance infrastructure, positioning Bauchi as a key economic hub.
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has advised President Bola Tinubu on what to do if he wants to win Bauchi State in 2027.
He said Tinubu must prioritize two crucial projects in the north-east State to capture the heart of electorates their and ultimately secure their votes.
He listed the project of priority as revival of oil exploration and initiating the construction of the Bagel Dam in Dass LGA.
According to him, the projects are strategic leverage for Tinubu’s reelection in Bauchi in 2027.
He made this known while speaking at the commissioning of a road project in Toro Local Government Area at the weekend.
Dogara asseted that the projects would engender economic growth, create jobs and enhance infrastructure, positioning Bauchi as a key economic hub.
Dogara described the initiatives as political game-changers, asserting that their execution would secure massive voter support for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
“If President Tinubu awards and starts the Bagel Dam project and revisits oil exploration in Bauchi, does he even need to campaign here for 2027? If you agree, say ‘Yes,’” he asked the crowd who responded ‘Yes’.
Dogara highlighted the benefits of the Bagel multipurpose dam, noting that it would supply electricity to all local governments in Bauchi South, thereby driving industrialization and boosting the local economy.
He also explained the potential economic impact of oil production, stating that joining Nigeria’s league of oil-producing states would significantly increase federal revenue allocation to Bauchi.
Addressing rumors of declining support for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bauchi, Dogara dismissed such claims, asserting that the party remained strong despite being in opposition at the state level.
“APC is very much alive in Bauchi. Those who think otherwise are only deceiving themselves. When the time comes, we will take back the state,” he declared.
