Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, stated that the president is more invested in the long-term impact of his policies rather than political maneuvering.

Taking to his X page, Dare highlighted key economic improvements under Tinubu’s leadership, including:

✅ Increase in foreign reserves

✅ Decline in inflation rates

✅ Growth in trade surplus

✅ Surge in exports while imports drop

✅ Over $50 billion in foreign investments

✅ Gradual drop in prices of goods and services

According to him, Tinubu is fully in control and determined to leave a lasting economic legacy by the end of his first term.

“The next election is not really in his view right now. It’s about making sure that at the end of his first term, he can confidently say, ‘I have impacted the lives of Nigerians. I have turned this economy around.’”

Political Maneuverings Ahead of 2027

Dare’s comments come amid rising political activity, including efforts to form a new political coalition aimed at challenging Tinubu in 2027.

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has been at the center of recent political realignments. Following a series of high-profile meetings, El-Rufai defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Social Democratic Party (SDP)—a move seen as part of a broader strategy to reshape the 2027 political landscape.

With opposition forces regrouping, Nigeria’s political space is set for intense competition in the coming years. However, Tinubu remains steadfast in his economic transformation agenda, prioritizing governance over election concerns.
