CPPE warns political violence could weaken investor confidence ahead of 2027 elections

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE) has issued a warning that rising political violence and inflammatory rhetoric ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections could weaken investor confidence and disrupt business activities. In a policy brief, the CPPE urged political leaders, parties, and state institutions to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law to protect the business environment.

The organization highlighted that escalating political tensions could discourage new investments, delay business expansion, trigger capital flight, and increase pressure on the foreign exchange market. The CPPE emphasized the importance of the independence and neutrality of public institutions, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the judiciary, and security agencies, in maintaining a stable investment climate and credible elections.
