Tunji Alausa, minister of education, says President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election, citing his administration’s bold economic reforms, improving macroeconomic indicators and growing confidence from “respected national and international institutions”.
In a statement issued on Monday, Ikharo Attah, media aide to Alausa, said the minister spoke in an interview, where he noted that the president has fulfilled the promises made to Nigerians through far-reaching reforms that are steadily transforming the nation’s economy while laying a solid foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth.
Alausa said Nigeria’s economic progress is no longer a matter of political rhetoric but one supported by credible data and independent assessments.
He noted that reports by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, Bloomberg and Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) affirm that the country’s economic reforms are producing measurable results and strengthening confidence in the economy.
According to him, key macroeconomic indicators continue to move in the right direction, with inflation gradually easing, adding that economic activities are expanding, while other critical economic indices showing steady improvement.
He stressed that while the administration is encouraged by the positive economic outlook, Tinubu has placed enormous emphasis on ensuring that the reforms remain sustainable and continue to deliver benefits long after the present administration.
“The president is focused on building a stronger Nigeria for generations to come. These reforms are not designed for short-term gains but to create lasting prosperity. There is no value in making difficult decisions if they cannot stand the test of time,” the minister said.
He added that the administration’s commitment to fiscal discipline, structural reforms and long-term economic stability is already yielding positive outcomes across several sectors, positioning Nigeria on a stronger path towards inclusive growth, increased productivity and national development.
Reaffirming his confidence in the Tinubu’s administration, the minister maintained that as Nigerians continue to witness improvements in economic indicators and the positive impact of ongoing reforms, the president’s performance would remain the strongest basis for seeking another mandate in 2027.
He further reaffirmed the Tinubu-led administration’s commitment to implementing policies that strengthen the economy, improve the welfare of citizens and advance the renewed hope agenda, expressing optimism that the gains of the current reforms would continue to deliver lasting prosperity for all Nigerians.
