The Presidency has stated 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.

Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, emphasized that the president is more concerned with the long-term impact of his policies than with political maneuvering ahead of the next election. In a Friday night post on his X page, wrote;

“President Tinubu is not worried about the next election. He’s worried about the shared prosperity that he can bring to Nigerians,” Dare wrote. “He’s worried about how the reforms he has put in place will yield the necessary impact. He is concerned about what happens to the economy of this country eventually. That’s the focus.”
