President Bola Tinubu announced that he may not attend every All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in the run‑up to the 2027 elections. He said the decision was driven by the demands of governance, the country’s financial obligations and the need to attract long‑term investors.
Speaking to the press, Tinubu explained that the responsibilities of the presidency require a focus on policy implementation and fiscal management. He added that attending every rally would limit his capacity to address these priorities.
The president’s comments come as the APC prepares for the next electoral cycle. He stressed that the party’s campaign strategy would still involve a broad outreach programme, even if his personal presence at some events would be reduced.
Tinubu highlighted that Nigeria’s financial commitments—both domestic and international—necessitate a steady flow of investment. He said that a stable investment climate is essential for the country’s long‑term economic growth.
While the president will skip certain rallies, he reaffirmed his commitment to the APC’s electoral agenda and to the broader goal of strengthening Nigeria’s governance framework ahead of the 2027 elections.
