President says bold reforms will continue as discussions around 2027 gather momentum.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the first two years of a possible second term in office would be dedicated to “more work,” signaling his administration’s determination to continue ongoing economic and governance reforms.
Tinubu reportedly made the statement while defending his government’s policy direction and insisting that difficult decisions taken so far were necessary to reposition Nigeria’s economy for long-term stability and growth.
The President maintained that his administration remains focused on reforms aimed at improving infrastructure, attracting investments and stabilizing key sectors despite growing public criticism over inflation, fuel costs and the rising cost of living.
His remarks have already triggered intense political debate, with supporters praising his confidence and commitment to reforms, while critics questioned whether ordinary Nigerians are truly feeling the impact of government policies.
Analysts say the statement may also be interpreted as an early political signal ahead of the 2027 presidential election, especially as conversations surrounding second-term ambitions continue to dominate national discourse.
Despite mounting economic pressure on citizens, the Presidency insists that current reforms are laying the foundation for a stronger and more competitive Nigerian economy in the years ahead.
