The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has unveiled President Bola Tinubu's manifesto for the 2027 election, boasting that no Nigerian leader since 1960 has undertaken more comprehensive and massive structural reforms. APC-PCC spokesperson Dele Alake made this statement in Abuja during a media pre-sensitisation ahead of the launch of the APC manifesto for the 2027 presidential election. The theme of the manifesto is "Translating Reforms into Shared Prosperity." Alake emphasized that the manifesto reflects three and a half years of difficult reforms that have delivered macroeconomic stability.

According to Alake, President Tinubu's administration has embarked on unprecedented reforms spanning all strata of society across all sectors. He challenged anyone to a public debate on this, stating that no civilian administration in Nigeria had undertaken such massive and comprehensive reforms since 1960. Alake attributed this to Tinubu's statesmanship, saying he prioritizes the nation's needs over personal or political considerations. The APC-PCC spokesperson described Tinubu as a statesman who thinks of the nation, unlike ordinary politicians who prioritize their next election.

Alake highlighted that the manifesto captures the administration's efforts since coming into office, including putting in place reforms, executing projects, and policies that have stabilized the economy. He emphasized that Tinubu did not behave like a typical politician, who would think about the next election, but decided to address the structural deficiency of the country without minding the consequences. This, according to Alake, is a testament to Tinubu's leadership and commitment to Nigeria's progress.

The launch of the manifesto comes as the APC-PCC prepares for the 2027 presidential election. Alake's statement reflects the party's confidence in Tinubu's leadership and the impact of his reforms on the country. The APC-PCC spokesperson's claims have sparked debate and discussion among Nigerians, with some agreeing that Tinubu's reforms are unprecedented and others expressing skepticism.

The unveiling of the manifesto and the praise for Tinubu's reforms mark a significant development in Nigeria's politics.

The party's efforts to engage with Nigerians and promote their manifesto will be crucial in shaping the country's future.
