Minister Idris Advocates for Tinubu's Re-election in 2027

On November 12, 2026, Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, called on Nigerians to re-elect President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. He stated that the administration requires additional time to tackle the ongoing economic challenges, including rising costs of living and poverty.

Idris made this appeal during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign flag-off at the Minna Trade Fair Complex in Niger State. He acknowledged the valid concerns of Nigerians regarding economic hardship but expressed confidence that the benefits of the government's reforms would eventually be realized.

Idris urged the electorate to support APC candidates at all levels in the upcoming elections to enjoy the dividends of democracy. Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago also pledged full support for Tinubu, promising that his second term would yield greater rewards for the state.

The event was attended by notable APC figures, including Mu’azu Rijau, Abdullahi Idris, and Ahmed Musa Ibeto.
