Remi Tinubu Seeks Second Term for Tinubu, Says Next Phase Will Deliver Prosperity First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, arguing that a second term would allow his administration to translate ongoing economic reforms into improved living conditions and national prosperity. She made the appeal on Saturday in Lafia, Nasarawa State, during a North-Central zonal mega rally organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rally support for Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to the First Lady, the administration’s economic policies are beginning to produce signs of stability, pointing to developments in the foreign exchange market and renewed interest from investors as indications of progress. She referenced the President’s Independence Day address, titled “From Reforms to Prosperity,” to explain the administration’s proposed direction for its next term, maintaining that continuity would be necessary to consolidate the gains recorded so far. Mrs Tinubu also praised the infrastructure drive of APC governors, describing the ongoing construction and rehabilitation of roads and other public facilities as significant achievements. She drew on her 12 years in the Senate to reinforce her assessment of the administration’s infrastructure efforts. On social welfare, she highlighted government-backed food support initiatives targeting children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. She said the programme was designed to improve access to nutritious meals and provide assistance for children experiencing malnutrition. The First Lady further noted that students were benefiting from the administration’s education funding programmes, urging party members to take information about these initiatives to their communities and explain the government’s policies to voters. She described President Tinubu as a leader prepared to make difficult decisions and expressed optimism that his policies would strengthen the economy and improve security if given another four years. Mrs Tinubu also called for a disciplined campaign, saying the APC women’s wing had aligned its efforts around a common message and would promote the party’s programmes without resorting to hate speech. She concluded by urging voters to support the President and APC candidates across all levels of government, presenting re-election as an opportunity to pursue economic growth, safer communities and improved national development. The rally was hosted by Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule and attracted governors and other political leaders from across the North-Central region.

Keyamo Accuses Atiku of Struggling to Accept Tinubu’s Presidency, Questions His Political Future Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has launched a fresh attack on former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, accusing him of allowing disappointment over President Bola Tinubu’s emergence to shape his recent political criticisms. Keyamo made the remarks in a statement shared on Saturday, October 10, through the X account of presidential aide Bayo Onanuga, where he challenged Atiku’s continued criticism of the president. The minister argued that Atiku had yet to come to terms with losing the presidential contest to Tinubu, suggesting that his recent comments were driven more by personal frustration than constructive opposition. In particularly harsh language, Keyamo described Atiku’s political reactions as a form of “agitated depression.” However, he provided no medical evidence to substantiate his characterisation of the former vice-president’s mental health. Reflecting on their political careers, Keyamo recalled that Atiku served as Nigeria’s vice-president while Tinubu governed Lagos State. He noted that both men pursued presidential ambitions after leaving their respective offices in 2007, with their political interests sometimes aligning and at other times diverging. According to the minister, Tinubu’s eventual victory marked a significant contrast with Atiku’s repeated attempts to secure the nation’s highest political office. Keyamo also invoked biblical teachings to defend Tinubu’s emergence as president, arguing that political authority ultimately rests with God rather than human calculations. He cited Ecclesiastes 9:11 in support of his position. The minister further called on people close to Atiku to encourage him to seek support, while maintaining that his current approach to opposition politics could alienate potential supporters instead of strengthening his political standing. He concluded by predicting that Atiku could face declining political relevance if he continued along the same path. The comments add another layer to the political exchanges between figures associated with the ruling All Progressives Congress and the opposition, as attention increasingly turns towards the 2027 general election.
