2027: I won’t abandon governance for campaigns — Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said he would not abandon governance for campaigns while seeking a fresh mandate in the January presidential election.... The post 2027: I won’t abandon governance for campaigns — Tinubu…
President Bola Tinubu's remarks come as the ruling All Progressives Congress formally sets its 2027 re-election machinery in motion, with the inauguration of the party's Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja. The move signals the start of what is expected to be a long and heavily contested campaign season, with incumbents historically facing scrutiny over how much time and government resources are diverted from day-to-day administration once re-election bids get underway.
Tinubu's pledge to prioritise governance echoes a familiar balancing act for sitting Nigerian presidents seeking second terms, who must reassure citizens that service delivery will not stall amid electioneering. The coverage from Tribune Online and Vanguard both centre on his assurance to party leaders at the campaign council's launch, with Vanguard adding detail on his specific charge to APC leaders to carry the administration's message to the grassroots. Neither report yet details how the campaign will be structured, its funding, or the leadership of the council beyond the Abuja inauguration.
