The ruling party in Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has published the 2027-2031 manifesto of President Bola Tinubu, titled « Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0 », ahead of a second term. The document, made available to Punch on Tuesday, pledges to tackle insecurity, reduce the cost of living, develop infrastructure and strengthen governance.
The manifesto groups the eight-point agenda of the Tinubu administration into four pillars: a safe and resilient nation; a better and more affordable life; energy, infrastructure and economic growth; and effective and accountable governance. It notably plans to create four additional army divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City, recruit 28,000 soldiers and deploy 50,000 new police officers.
In his introductory message, Mr Tinubu defends the measures taken since 2023, including the removal of the petrol subsidy, the unification of the exchange rate and tax reforms, which he considers necessary. He says he wants to turn economic stabilisation into concrete benefits for households. The manifesto follows Tinubu’s pledge to bring inflation down to 8% by the end of 2031 at the latest.
