The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, has said President Bola Tinubu is not worried about the next election but about the shared prosperity that he can bring to Nigerians.
Dare in a statement on X, Tinubu is also worried about how the reforms he has put in place will yield necessary impact.
He also said the President is concerned about what happens to the economy of the country eventually.
Dare said, “We’ve seen our foreign reserves go up. We’ve seen inflation come down. We’ve seen our trade surplus go up. We’ve seen exports go up and imports drop. We’ve seen the investments that have been attracted -over 50 billion. We are seeing prices dropping.We have clear data and you have a President that is clearly in the driver’s seat, and he has stayed the course of the decisions he has taken.
“And I think that the next election is not really in his view right now. It’s how to make sure that at the end of his first term, he can sit back and say, look, ‘I have impacted the lives of Nigerians. I have turned this economy around.'”
Dare said this amid talks of a coalition of opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
