President Bola Tinubu has pledged to place Nigeria on what he described as an irreversible path of economic expansion and democratic consolidation if given another four-year mandate.
The President made the commitment in Abuja during his acceptance speech after securing victory at the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress, where he polled over 10.9 million votes.
Tinubu acknowledged the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians following key reforms introduced by his administration in 2023, including the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange adjustments. He noted that while the policies have brought hardship, they were necessary steps toward long-term stability, adding that he shares in the challenges experienced by citizens. 
Highlighting achievements so far, the President pointed to initiatives such as the student loan scheme, tax reforms, and ongoing infrastructure projects. He disclosed that more than ₦282 billion has been disbursed to approximately 1.5 million beneficiaries under the student loan programme.
Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, Tinubu promised to intensify efforts in critical sectors, including improving electricity supply, enhancing national security, and creating more opportunities for young Nigerians and businesses.
He called on party members and supporters to remain united as the administration continues its reform agenda aimed at strengthening the country’s economy and democratic institutions.
