2027: Tinubu committed to safer communities, greater Nigeria – Remi assures voters

At a rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, assured voters of President Bola Tinubu's commitment to enhancing security, promoting national unity and fostering economic prosperity in his 2027 re-election bid. Tinubu, set to face re-election alongside Vice-President Kashim Shettima, was portrayed by his wife as a fearless leader who could steer the nation towards a brighter future.

She highlighted signs of economic stabilization, reduced foreign exchange pressures, and a resurgence of investor interest, coupled with increased infrastructure development.

Tinubu emphasized her husband's dedication to security, national unity, and the well-being of the populace. She added: "We can see that our economy is stabilising. Foreign exchange is going down, and investors are coming back to Nigeria. Our governors are carrying out infrastructural development like no other time."

The North-Central region, consisting of Niger, Nasarawa, Plateau, Benue, Kogi and Kwara states, along with the Federal Capital Territory, rallied behind Tinubu's re-election. The zone's APC Presidential Campaign Council, led by Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, vowed to ensure Tinubu's victory, describing the rally as a testament to the party's strength in the region. Bago commended the Tinubu administration's economic reforms, industrialization efforts, and infrastructure policies, calling them unprecedented.

Other prominent figures, including Senator George Akume, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda and Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, echoed the importance of party unity for the 2027 elections. Governors from the North-Central zone also pledged their support for Tinubu and the APC candidates.
