2027: Oluremi Tinubu says Nigeria moving from reforms to prosperity

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration is moving Nigeria from economic reforms to prosperity, urging voters in the North-Central region to support his re-election bid in 2027.

She spoke on Saturday in Lafia, Nasarawa State, at the North-Central Grassroots Mobilisation Network’s rally endorsing President Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima for a second term.

Mrs Tinubu said the President’s October 1 Independence Day message, titled From Reforms to Prosperity, reflected the administration’s next phase, adding that she believed signs of economic stabilisation were emerging.

“The Independence Day message of Mr President was titled ‘From Reforms to Prosperity’. Therefore, Mr President is saying that they are going to reform the sector, but now is the time for prosperity, and we can see our economy is stabilising,” she said.

She cited the foreign exchange market, renewed investor interest and infrastructure development by state governments as evidence of progress under the administration.

The First Lady also said the government was addressing food insecurity through interventions targeting vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

“As you see now, we have just finished the food bank programme, where we are helping every child and mothers who are pregnant and also breastfeeding,” she said.

According to her, the programme was designed to improve access to nutritious food and provide support for malnourished children.
