Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will consolidate his economic reforms, strengthen national security, and deliver greater prosperity if re-elected in the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the North-Central Grassroots Mobilisation Network Grand Rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Mrs. Tinubu said the administration's economic policies were beginning to produce positive results despite the hardship associated with the reforms.
Addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the six North-Central states and the Federal Capital Territory, Mrs. Tinubu described her husband as a courageous leader committed to national unity and economic transformation. She said President Tinubu believes in the unity, security, and prosperity of Nigeria. The First Lady's remarks come as the administration seeks to convince voters that its economic policies are delivering improvements ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mrs. Tinubu argued that the government's difficult economic decisions were beginning to restore investor confidence and stabilise the economy. She cited the decline in foreign exchange rates and the return of investors to Nigeria as evidence of the positive impact of the administration's policies. The First Lady also highlighted government interventions in food security, maternal health, education, and social protection, including a recently completed food bank programme to support vulnerable groups.
The food bank programme, according to Mrs. Tinubu, was designed to support pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and malnourished children. She urged APC supporters to intensify grassroots mobilisation and persuade voters to support the continuation of the administration's reform agenda. The First Lady called on APC supporters to tell everyone that President Bola Tinubu is a bold leader who is committed to the country's economic development and security.
Mrs. Tinubu's comments were echoed by other APC leaders, including the party's National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who also expressed support for Tinubu's re-election. The rally was attended by several party leaders who share the view that continuity of the administration's policies will accelerate economic development and improve security.
The First Lady emphasised the importance of continuity in the administration's policies, saying that it will accelerate economic development and improve security. She therefore urged voters to support the re-election of President Tinubu and other APC candidates, arguing that it is essential for the country's prosperity. Mrs. Tinubu's call for continuity was seen as a vote of confidence in the administration's ability to deliver on its promises.
President Tinubu's re-election bid is expected to be a major focus of the APC's campaign in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. The party is banking on the administration's economic policies and achievements in various sectors to convince voters to give President Tinubu a second term. The outcome of the elections will determine the future of Nigeria's economic and security trajectory.
