President Bola Tinubu has declared that his main focus is not on the 2027 elections but on improving Nigeria’s economy for its citizens.
His comments came during a gathering of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders.
The event, held at Victoria Island and hosted by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, marked the first assembly of the APC in the South-West since Tinubu’s presidential victory in 2023.
Represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Tinubu called for patience from Nigerians, assuring them of his administration’s commitment to the genuine progress of the country.
Gbajabiamila said, “Mr President has asked me to convey his message, he knows he has taken very tough decision. He sees the light at the end of the tunnel. The time will come when we will all thank him for the decision.
”Mr President said I should let you know that he is not thinking of the next election but the next generation.
“For every moment in a country, a particular leader is produced for that time. This is the time to produce a leader that is courageous.”
Gbajabiamila added, “The challenges of our country is diverse, it is very immense. You cannot know the extent until you get there, I see that Mr President has nothing in his mind but the progress of Nigeria.
“For those of us who know him very well, he has a love for the masses. As the people are complaining, he is also pained but when a man has a strong conviction of what he is doing, he pursues it relentlessly.”
