2027: Tinubu promises to establish six mechanised farming centres in Jigawa

The All Progressives Congress has released a four-pillar manifesto titled Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0, outlining President Bola Tinubu’s agenda for a second term between 2027 and 2031. According to Punch Nigeria, the document consolidates the current administration's eight-point agenda into four strategic pillars: Secure and Resilient Nation; Better Quality and More Affordable Life for Every Nigerian; Energy, Infrastructure and Economic Growth; and Effective and Accountable Governance.

The manifesto contains at least 35 promises, including plans to restore peace in communities by completing the establishment of four new Army divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo, and Benin City.

To increase agricultural productivity, President Tinubu stated his administration will establish mechanised farming centres across the country and encourage tertiary institutions to expand research and development in the sector, Premium Times reports.

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council has criticized the re-election campaign, according to Daily Post Nigeria. The council described the messages as divisive and claimed the president has focused on attacking opponents rather than explaining how his administration has addressed issues such as government borrowing, fuel subsidy removal, insecurity, hunger, and the cost of living. The ADC-PCC also challenged the president to account for previous electricity pledges.
