The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) introduced President Bola Tinubu’s manifesto for the upcoming 2027 elections, asserting that no Nigerian leader since 1960 has enacted such extensive structural reforms across various sectors.
During a media event in Abuja, APC-PCC spokesperson Dele Alake emphasized the significance of reforms undertaken by the government, describing them as unprecedented in Nigeria’s history. Alake invited public debate on the scope of these reforms, arguing that Tinubu’s administration has addressed deep-rooted structural issues in the economy.
Alake further described Tinubu as a statesman who prioritizes national interest over political gain. He stated that the reforms aim to stabilize the economy and foster shared prosperity among all Nigerians.
In his remarks, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila characterized the manifesto as more than a campaign tool; he framed it as a commitment between leaders and citizens. Gbajabiamila asserted that every Nigerian deserves to share in the nation’s prosperity and outlined several early achievements attributed to the reforms, including student loan programs and tax reforms aimed at benefiting lower-income earners.
Gbajabiamila also highlighted the administration’s goals, including halving the number of out-of-school children by 2031 and enhancing health insurance coverage. He insisted that the government will be accountable for the manifesto’s promises and asked Nigerians to engage with the program positively.
Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Atiku Bagudu reiterated the government’s commitment to improving living conditions for everyday citizens and acknowledged the economic challenges they face. He pointed out that the success of Tinubu’s policies can be measured by their tangible benefits to the populace.
Additionally, House of Representatives member Abdulmumin Jibrin praised the current administration for completing infrastructure projects that previous governments had neglected, asserting that this government has successfully executed significant road projects within a shorter timeframe.
