By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Vanguard
Nigerian association HURIWA is calling on the government to prioritise lowering the cost of living, jobs and purchasing power rather than the prospects of Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Its national coordinator, Emmanuel Nnadozie Onwubiko, challenges the idea that investors can predict the election outcome, according to Vanguard.
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) is urging the federal government to prioritise reducing the cost of living before discussing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election prospects in 2027. Its national coordinator, Emmanuel Nnadozie Onwubiko, made the call on Sunday in a statement responding to comments by Minister of State for Finance Taiwo Oyedele, according to Vanguard.
HURIWA cited the rising cost of living, high petrol prices, declining purchasing power and widespread economic hardship as priorities to address. The association says these measures must come before any discussion of a second term for Bola Tinubu, President of Nigeria.
