2027 ELECTION: TINUBU VOWS TO LOWER COST OF LIVING, PROVIDE RELIABLE POWER, CREATE JOBS

President Bola Tinubu has promised to reduce the cost of living, improve security, ensure reliable electricity supply and create more jobs as he outlined the All Progressives Congress (APC) agenda ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Tinubu made the promises at an APC campaign rally in Jigawa State, where he presented what he described as the party’s “road map to prosperity”.

Listing his administration’s priorities, the President said his government would invest in healthcare, strengthen medical services and expand opportunities across local government areas.

“Number one item, we save lives, investment in medical stability and opportunity in every local government,” he said.

He also pledged to tackle the rising cost of living, improve national security and address Nigeria’s persistent electricity challenges.

“We will lower the cost of living, Security. We will provide reliable power, not the old privatisation that is not working. We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” Tinubu stated.

On economic development, the President promised to strengthen the country’s industrial sector, support small and medium-scale enterprises and expand employment opportunities, particularly for rural income earners.

“We will stimulate stronger industrial pace of our country. We will help small-scale business and medium-scale business. We will expand the job opportunity across rural income earners,” he added.

The promises form part of the APC’s campaign message ahead of the 2027 election, with Tinubu presenting lower living costs, improved security, dependable electricity, healthcare investment and job creation as key areas of focus.

The President’s pledges come amid continuing public concerns over the cost of living, electricity supply, insecurity and unemployment. The proposed measures and their implementation will be among the issues Nigerians assess as the country approaches the next general election.
