It\u2019s the result of President Tinubu\u2019s leadership and the visible progress he\u2019s making,\u201d Barau said. \u201cSecurity in the Northwest has significantly improved. Places that were once no-go areas, like Birnin Gwari and parts of the Abuja-Kaduna corridor, are now accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging that the country is not yet where it ought to be, he noted that ongoing reforms and projects show that the administration is on the right path. \u201cIt\u2019s a work in progress. The president is working tirelessly to solve the challenges facing the nation, particularly insecurity in the North.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also praised APC governors for their dedication to grassroots development, emphasizing their role in strengthening the party\u2019s influence.<\/p>\n<p>Barau commended the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, for steering the party toward unity and growth, calling for continued collaboration among leaders and members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our growing strength and the momentum we\u2019ve gained, it feels like there\u2019s no other political party in the country \u2014 especially in the Northwest,\u201d he said. \u201cLet\u2019s remain focused, united, and committed so we can deliver a resounding victory come 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
