The Presidency has stated that President Bola Tinubu is currently focused on advancing his economic policies to improve Nigerians' lives, rather than on the 2027 election. Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, emphasized that the president is more committed to the long-term impact of his policies than to political positioning for the next election. In a Friday night post on his X page, Dare outlined key economic gains achieved under Tinubu’s leadership. “He’s worried about how the reforms he has put in place will yield necessary impact. He is concerned about what happens to the economy of this country eventually. That’s the focus. “We’ve seen our foreign reserves go up. We’ve seen inflation come down. We’ve seen our trade surplus go up. We’ve seen exports go up and imports drop. We’ve seen the investments that have been attracted -over 50 billion. We are seeing prices dropping. “We have clear data and you have a President that is clearly in the driver’s seat, and he has stayed the course of the decisions he has taken. And I think that the next election is not really in his view right now. It’s how to make sure that at the end of his first term, he can sit back and say, look, ‘I have impacted the lives of Nigerians. I have turned this economy around.’”
