Give Tinubu another chance to complete fixing Nigeria's economy – Minister
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has called on Nigerians to re-elect President Bola Tinubu in 2027, arguing that the administration needs more time to complete its economic reforms.
Idris made the appeal on Thursday at the flag-off of the APC’s 2027 presidential and governorship campaigns at the Minna Trade Fair Complex in Niger State.
He acknowledged that Nigerians were facing serious economic challenges, including rising living costs, poverty and hunger, but maintained that the impact of the government’s reforms would take time to reach ordinary citizens.
“I appeal for the understanding of Nigerians. President Bola Tinubu means well for Nigerians. Let’s give him more time to complete the good things he has already started,” Idris said.
The minister also appealed to Niger State residents to vote for Governor Mohammed Bago for a second term, pointing to what he described as the administration’s achievements during its first four years.
He urged voters to support APC candidates across all levels of government in next year’s elections, saying this would allow them to benefit from the party’s policies.
Speaking at the event, Bago promised to secure 100 per cent of the votes in Niger State for Tinubu and the APC.
The governor also said his second term would deliver greater benefits to residents and urged them to vote for APC candidates in the presidential, governorship, senatorial and House of Representatives elections.
Among those who attended the campaign launch were the APC North-Central Zonal Vice-Chairman, Mu’azu Rijau, who represented the party’s National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Abdullahi Idris; and former Niger State Deputy Governor, Ahmed Musa Ibeto.
