2027 Campaign Promises: Nigerians Question Tinubu’s ‘First-Time’ Claim

President Bola Tinubu’s recent campaign promises at the All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Dutse, Jigawa State, have stirred a wave of conversations on social media. The President, in his address, pledged reliable power, reduced cost of living, a stronger industrial base, support for small businesses, more jobs, and interest-free loans for farmers among other promises (Daily Post Nigeria, 2026).

However, some Nigerians have taken to social media to question Tinubu’s claim of being a first-time contender. Some argue that Tinubu has been a significant figure in Nigerian politics for decades, having served as the governor of Lagos State twice and playing key roles in various political parties.

‘How can a man who has been in power for so long claim he’s a first-timer?’ questioned one Twitter user. Another pointed out, ‘Tinubu was the power behind the throne during the Buhari administration. Now he’s saying he’s a first-timer? Nigeria deserves better.’

This debate highlights the need for clarity and transparency in political campaigns, as Nigerians seek a leader who can deliver on promises and bring about meaningful change.
