The Presidency has clarified that President Bola Tinubu is not currently focused on the 2027 election, but is instead prioritizing economic policies aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians.
Sunday Dare, the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, emphasized that Tinubu is more concerned with the long-term effects of his policies than with political strategies for the upcoming election. In a post on his X page on Friday night, Dare wrote:
“President Tinubu is not focused on the next election. He’s focused on bringing shared prosperity to Nigerians,” Dare stated. “He is concerned about how the reforms he has implemented will deliver meaningful results and about the future of the country’s economy. That’s his main focus.”
