President Bola Tinubu has expressed deep gratitude to the people of Jigawa State for their warm reception during a recent visit with Vice President Kashim Shettima.

In a post on his official X account on Wednesday, the President said he was “still smiling from Dutse,” describing the welcome as one that treated him and the Vice President “like family.”

He added that residents “even got your President dancing,” calling the day special.

Tinubu highlighted the commissioning of 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters during the visit.

“When I commissioned those 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, I thought of the food they will help put on your tables, the income our farmers will earn, and what that prosperity will mean for their families and communities,” he wrote.

He also pointed to new skills centres already training young people in various trades and improved roads that are expanding market access for farmers and traders.

“For us in the APC, shared prosperity means our farmers earning more, our young people finding opportunities, and more families sharing in Nigeria’s progress,” the President stated.

Tinubu thanked Jigawa Governor Umar Namadi for his partnership and service.

He told the people of the state that he was carrying their “love and prayers back to Abuja,” and pledged to continue the work “all the way to 2031.”

The post ended with “Alhamdulillah!”
