The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno says ongoing Federal Government infrastructure projects in the state are among many reasons residents should support the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima in 2027.
The APC Chairman in Borno, Mr Bello Ayuba, stated this at a news conference on Wednesday in Maiduguri, while highlighting some of the Federal Government’s interventions in the state.
Ayuba cited the proposed dual carriageway from Gujba in Yobe to Biu in Borno, saying the contractor had mobilised to the site.

He also mentioned the Bama-Banki and Maiduguri-Gamboru Ngala federal roads as major projects expected to improve transportation and economic activities in the state.
The chairman further cited the Federal Government’s financial commitment to reconstructing Alau Dam following the devastating flooding that affected Maiduguri and its environs.
According to him, the projects demonstrate the federal government’s commitment to addressing Borno’s infrastructure and development needs.
He said the Maiduguri-Gamboru Ngala road required special construction considerations because of the nature of the soil in the area.
Ayuba said that the federal government was considering concrete construction to ensure the road’s durability, with an estimated lifespan of up to 100 years.
He said road construction required substantial financial resources, particularly in areas with difficult terrain, adding that Borno expected more development projects from the federal government.
The APC chairman urged residents to recognise the interventions and support the party’s candidates in the 2027 general elections.
He expressed confidence in the party’s structure across the state, saying its ward, local government and state structures were working in synergy.
Ayuba also announced that more than 200 delegates from opposition political parties had joined the APC, while a reconciliation committee had been established to address grievances among members.
