Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure re-election in 2027, citing the administration’s economic initiatives and visible governance achievements.
Speaking on a televised programme, Sanwo-Olu highlighted measurable progress under the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda. He pointed to fiscal management improvements, infrastructure development, and enhanced revenue generation at both federal and state levels.
“President Tinubu has delivered on key promises, and the results are evident in improved governance, stronger infrastructure, and increased revenues to states and local governments”, Sanwo-Olu said, noting that these gains have strengthened service delivery and accelerated development projects nationwide.
The governor also cited stabilising food prices, growing foreign direct investment, and renewed diaspora engagement as indicators of rising confidence in Nigeria’s economy. “Challenges remain, but the President is focused, strategic, and committed to driving progress”, he added.
Sanwo-Olu highlighted Tinubu’s growing political support, noting that the number of governors aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has increased from around 20 after the 2023 elections to nearly 29 today, reflecting confidence in his leadership.
Reiterating his optimism, the governor said Nigerians will judge the president by tangible outcomes. “Citizens can see the results, improved revenues, blocked loopholes, higher compliance, enabling governments to deliver more for the people”, he said.
Sanwo-Olu also showcased successes in Lagos State under his THEMES+ Agenda, including progress in transportation, security, tourism, environmental sustainability, and technology.
He concluded that sustained federal initiatives, combined with effective governance at the state level, would continue to build public trust and strengthen Tinubu’s prospects ahead of the 2027 elections.
