2027: Tinubu’s Track Record as an Edge over Other Presidential Candidates

The City Boy Movement (CBM) is positioning President Bola Tinubu as the most suitable candidate to continue Nigeria's growth beyond 2027. CBM's Director-General, Francis Shoga, highlighted the significant progress made under President Tinubu's administration. These achievements span infrastructure development, agriculture, energy, and economic reforms.

Noteworthy infrastructure projects include the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the 1,068-kilometre Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, both described as unprecedented expansions. In agriculture, the government has mechanised farming on an unprecedented scale, deploying 2,000 tractors and funding a $1.1 billion Green Imperative Programme in partnership with Brazil.

A new Federal Ministry of Livestock Development has also been established, and cultivated land for rice and wheat has expanded. In the petroleum sector, crude production has increased to 1.56 million barrels per day, with the Dangote Refinery operational and Port Harcourt and Warri refineries back in action. To mitigate the effects of petrol subsidy removal, the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative has been launched, encouraging private-sector investment in compressed natural gas infrastructure.

Economic reforms such as improved external reserves, lower inflation, and reduced debt-to-revenue ratio have further bolstered Tinubu's case for re-election. CBM aims to mobilize 10 million youth votes for Tinubu through grassroots campaigns.
