Tinubu Launches Re-election Manifesto Ahead of 2027 Vote

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched his re-election manifesto, a public document setting out a party's policy goals. The manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity, was launched on 10 November by Tinubu's party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to BBC News.

The document targets 6% annual economic growth by 2031. It also sets goals of 78,000 additional security personnel and 200,000 affordable homes. BBC News

The manifesto comes ahead of a general election due in January 2027. Tinubu was elected in 2023. Among his main challengers are Peter Obi and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

Tinubu's first-term economic reforms included the removal of the fuel subsidy, the government support that had kept petrol prices lower. The removal of that subsidy is among the measures his government has pursued since taking office.

The APC, founded in 2013, is currently Nigeria's ruling party at the federal level, according to the party's website.

Nigeria's headline inflation, the overall rise in consumer prices, stood at 14% in September 2026, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. BBC News
