President Bola Tinubu is set to unveil the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 presidential manifesto on Tuesday, November 10, with fresh promises covering security, the economy and the cost of living.
The 109-page document, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031, outlines several targets the president hopes to achieve if re-elected in 2027, including recruiting 78,000 additional security personnel and building 200,000 affordable homes.
What Tinubu promises Nigerians ahead of 2027
According to the manifesto, Tinubu’s proposed second-term agenda focuses on turning the economic reforms introduced during his first tenure into improvements Nigerians can feel in their daily lives
One of the major targets is achieving 6% annual economic growth by 2031 while keeping inflation and food prices on a downward path.
The president also promised to facilitate the construction of 200,000 affordable homes for Nigerian workers through the Tinubu Mass Social Housing Scheme, mortgage financing and partnerships with private developers.
On electricity, the document outlines plans to increase available power generation towards 10,000 megawatts to improve supply to homes and businesses.
78,000 new security personnel among major promises
Security is another major area highlighted in the APC’s proposed manifesto.
Tinubu plans to recruit 28,000 additional military personnel and 50,000 police officers to strengthen the country’s security system and tackle terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
The document also proposes recruiting 30,150 Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps personnel to take over static security duties currently handled by the police.
The president further promised to improve intelligence gathering, strengthen border surveillance, introduce modern security technology and improve the welfare of security personnel.
One of the proposals is to train and deploy the newly recruited officers while expanding police coverage towards a ratio of one officer to 400 citizens.
Tinubu outlines plans for education and healthcare
Beyond security and economic growth, the manifesto contains proposals for improvements in education and healthcare.
Tinubu promised to recruit and train 20,000 additional teachers, halve the number of out-of-school children and expand technical and digital training opportunities
In healthcare, the administration plans to increase functional primary healthcare centres from the current 53% to 90% nationwide by 2031.
The document also targets an increase in active health insurance coverage from more than 23 million enrollees to 40% of Nigerians.
It further proposes reducing out-of-pocket healthcare spending from 71% to below 50% of total health expenditure.
Meanwhile, Deji Adeyanju has challenged former Chicago State University lecturer Tokunbo Pearse over his latest comments about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic records.
Deji Adeyanju described the repeated controversy surrounding Tinubu’s CSU attendance as boring and a distraction from more pressing political issues.
The activist made his position known in a social media response, urging opposition figures to concentrate on another campaign agendas and preventing electoral malpractice ahead of 2027.
Deji Adeyanju Responds to Tokunbo Pearse
Nigerian activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has reacted to fresh allegations by former Chicago State University lecturer Tokunbo Pearse against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the repeated controversy surrounding the president’s academic records as a distraction.
Deji Adeyanju, in a statement shared on Monday morning, November 9, argued that the opposition should pay greater attention to preparations for the 2027 general election instead of repeatedly revisiting the CSU controversy that had been settled.
His response followed Pearse’s latest criticism of Tinubu, in which the former lecturer questioned the president’s claim of attending the American university.
Pearse had claimed that he spent five years teaching at the institution and served as the director of the programme Tinubu reportedly attended.
He also described the president as a liar and warned that the international community would be watching Nigeria’s 2027 election. Continue reading here.
