Tinubu vows to give Nigerians steady electricity by 2027

President Bola Tinubu has promised to ensure Nigerians have reliable electricity.

Tinubu made this promise on Tuesday at the All Progressives Congress rally held at the Dutse Township Stadium in Jigawa State. He spoke about his government’s goals as the 2027 general election approaches.

The President said his government would take a new approach to solve the country’s electricity problems. He criticized the current privatization model.

“We will provide reliable power, not the old privatization that is not working,” he said.

“We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” he added.

This recent promise is similar to what Tinubu said during a meeting with members of the Organised Private Sector in Lagos before the 2023 presidential election. At that meeting, he promised to ensure constant electricity and end estimated billing.

He warned Nigerians not to re-elect him if he did not keep this promise, unless he gave good reasons for not delivering.

Tinubu also talked about other key areas in the APC’s manifesto. These include investing in healthcare, lowering the cost of living, improving security, and creating more economic opportunities.

He mentioned that the government would invest in medical facilities and create jobs in every local government area.

Tinubu also promised to strengthen Nigeria’s industrial base and support businesses of all sizes.

“We will stimulate stronger industrial base of our country. We will help the nano, the small scale business and medium scale business,” he said.

He added that his government would work to increase job opportunities, raise incomes, and improve the skills of Nigerians.

“We will expand the job opportunity across real income earners. We will develop their skills,” the President said.

During his visit to Jigawa, Tinubu also commissioned four development projects and took part in the APC rally. This rally is part of the party’s effort to mobilize support ahead of the 2027 general election.
