‎
‎The Tinubu Media Support Group (TMSG) has maintained that President Bola Tinubu’s administration, contrary to some false claims, has never abandoned the North but promoted equity as a cardinal policy in distributing key projects and political appointments.

It described claims that the administration has abandoned Northern Nigeria as a coordinated hatchet job to cast the President in a bad light for purely political reasons.
‎
‎In a statement signed by its Chairman Emeka Nwankpa and Secretary Dapo Okubanjo, the group argued that those pushing the position in the face of verifiable and overwhelming evidence of continuous robust engagement are enemies of the people.
‎
‎It said: “We find it strange that barely a month after senior government officials had engaged key political and traditional leaders from the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Kaduna on projects, achievements and ongoing programmes of the President Bola Tinubu administration in Northern Nigeria in the last two years, there has been no let up in efforts to demonize the President in the eyes of average Northerners.
‎
‎”More incredible is how those pushing the agenda seem to have recruited a section of the media to continually play down federal projects in the North while giving the impression that Lagos State is getting more attention and funds than the entire North and other parts of the country put together.
‎
‎”We know that this is far from the truth and it is against this backdrop that we have concluded that there is a coordinated hatchet job at play to whittle down the support base of President Tinubu in Northern states ahead of the 2007 Presidential election.
‎
‎”Our position is based on the manner in which certain political elements in the North aligned with opposition figures are bent on using all media to spread false narratives about the administration, a development which led to a robust response by government officials at a two-day interactive engagement in July 2025.
‎
‎”It is also instructive that a few days after the Kaduna meeting, the Director General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Dr Tanimu Yakubu, came up with detailed information on the 2024 and 2025 budgets, showing that 52% of ongoing projects are in Northern Nigeria.
‎
‎”We consider it surprising that the Budget Office DG was forced to further clarify that the North West with N5.9 trillion is the biggest beneficiary of the 2025 budget, contrary to false claims by an Abuja-based newspaper that Lagos has more projects in the budget than North West, North East and South East geo-political zones combined.
‎
‎”For the avoidance of doubt, the Budget Office had insisted that its records showed that what went to the North West amounted to over 40% of all approvals, followed by the South South with N2.41 trillion and North Central N1.13 trillion. It also added that actual projects exclusive to Lagos stand at N1.2 trillion, not N2.7 trillion mischievously claimed as covering federal highways and transport links passing through Lagos.
‎
‎”So we have no doubt that there is a sinister motive behind this sustained effort to cast the President as insensitive to the North, despite verifiable evidence of ongoing projects and new ones aside from ongoing security initiatives to stem the tide of insecurity in the last two years.”
‎
‎The group reiterated President Tinubu’s principled stance never to leave any part of the country behind in his quest to put the entire country on the path of sustainable development.
‎
‎”We invite Nigerians to note the President’s reaffirmation of the sanctity of the oath he took in May 2025 to serve all Nigerians irrespective of their location, ethnicity or religion.
‎
‎”This, in our view, is why every section of the country is going to be touched by the legacy projects of the Tinubu administration,” it added.
‎
‎TMSG urged Nigerians not to be swayed by the deceitfully coordinated political debauchery aimed at pitting the North against the President and his administration when available credible evidence has proven otherwise.

The group further explained that no amount of deliberate misinformation would erase the unvarnished truth that President Bola Tinubu has displayed a high sense of equity, even sometimes bending over backwards in his commitment to developing the Northern region than any other Nigerian leader in recent memory, according to a declaration recently made by the Chairman, Northern Governors Forum and Gombe State Governor Inuwa Yahaya.
