The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has urged Nigerians to hold President Bola Tinubu accountable for the promises contained in the All Progressives Congress (APC) manifesto ahead of the 2027 general election.
Gbajabiamila made the call during the presentation of the party’s presidential manifesto in Abuja on Tuesday, acknowledging the economic hardship associated with the administration’s reform policies.
He maintained that the government must now translate the opportunities created by those reforms into meaningful improvements in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
The Chief of Staff described the manifesto as a roadmap for moving Nigeria from economic reforms to prosperity, stressing that government policies must produce measurable benefits for citizens.
According to him, leadership should extend beyond winning elections to making decisions that improve the welfare of future generations.
He distinguished between politicians who focus primarily on electoral victories and leaders who prioritise long-term national development.
Gbajabiamila urged APC members and supporters to take the manifesto to communities across the country, engage citizens and listen to concerns about government policies and their implementation.
He also encouraged Nigerians who remain unconvinced by the administration’s economic direction to examine the document and use its commitments to assess government performance.
The 109-page manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031, outlines the party’s proposed priorities for economic development, security, infrastructure, education, healthcare and employment.
Among its targets are achieving six per cent annual economic growth, facilitating the construction of 200,000 affordable homes and expanding electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts by 2031.
The document also proposes recruiting additional security personnel, improving healthcare access and reducing youth unemployment.
Gbajabiamila described the manifesto as ambitious, saying its objectives reflected Tinubu’s vision for the country’s development.
However, he emphasised that the administration must move beyond policy announcements and ensure that its commitments produce practical results.
The Chief of Staff maintained that the success of the proposed programmes should ultimately be measured by their impact on citizens’ living conditions.
The APC’s latest policy document forms part of Tinubu’s re-election campaign, with the party presenting its proposed second-term agenda as a continuation of economic reforms introduced since 2023.
Its implementation would depend on electoral outcomes, government funding and the administration’s ability to deliver on the stated commitments.
