Tinubu not occupied with 2027 election – Presidency

The Presidency has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not focused on the 2027 election.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare said the president is currently concerned and focused on his economic policies that would improve the lives of Nigerians.
Posting on his X page, Dare said Tinubu is concerned with the long-term impact of his policies than political manoeuvring ahead of 2027.
“We’ve seen our foreign reserves go up. We’ve seen inflation come down. We’ve seen our trade surplus go up. We’ve seen exports go up and imports drop.
“We’ve seen the investments that have been attracted—over $50 billion. We are seeing prices dropping. We have clear data, and you have a President that is clearly in the driver’s seat, and he has stayed the course of the decisions he has taken.
“And I think that the next election is not really in his view right now. It’s how to make sure that at the end of his first term, he can sit back and say, ‘I have impacted the lives of Nigerians. I have turned this economy around.’”
His comment is coming amid moves to birth a political coalition that is believed would give Tinubu a run for his money in 2027.
Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai recently visited some top leaders in Nigeria following his criticisms of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
After his visits, El-Rufai defected from APC to the Social Democratic Party, SDP, amid moves to intensify the birth of the coalition.
