In the rhythm of Nigeria’s democracy, every era produces a leader whose mission must be completed before the baton of power changes hands. In 2023, Asiwaju Tinubu prophetically confessed that it was his turn, Emilokan and Nigerians made a defining choice they elected him a reformer, not a performer of illusions.
Two years on, it is very clear, the 2027 election is still the turn of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tinubu lẹ́ẹ́kàn sí ! Tinubu once more !
President Tinubu did not ascend to power on the wings of mere promises. He came with a blueprint, the Renewed Hope Agenda, a vision built on reform, productivity, and national revival. His first two years have been about resetting a broken economy sustained by deceit and subsidies.
He took the tough decisions others avoided for decades removing the fraudulent fuel subsidy, unifying the exchange rate, and reviving industrial sectors like steel, energy, and transport.
Continuity is not a luxury; it is a necessity. A reforming president deserves two full terms to plant, nurture, and harvest the fruits of his bold reforms. To interrupt this national reconstruction midway would be to abandon the foundation when the building is almost ready.
No reform worth its name comes without pain. President Tinubu chose the hard path to fix the economy from the roots, not decorate it with lies. The subsidy removal was not popular, but it was honest. Exchange rate unification was tough, but it was patriotic.
Today, slowly but surely, the results are visible, foreign investors are returning, industries are reopening, and states are experiencing renewed federal attention.
Nigeria’s refineries are being revived. The steel sector is reawakened. Infrastructure projects, roads, rails, ports, and power are regaining life. The foundation of a productive economy is being laid again.
Beyond economics, President Tinubu has brought rare political stability. For the first time in many years, Nigeria’s politics is less about bitterness and more about inclusion. Governors, lawmakers, and political heavyweights from opposition parties are steadily joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), not because of coercion, but because they see direction, results, and national purpose.
From the South to the North, the East to the West, Tinubu’s leadership is building bridges of trust. His appointments reflect inclusion, his policies encourage productivity, and his tone as a statesman signals maturity. He is governing for all Nigerians, not for one region or religion.
When leaders perform, people respond. Across the nation, there is a growing understanding that President Tinubu deserves a second term to consolidate his gains.
The 2027 election is not about sentiment, it is about sustaining progress. Nigerians have seen the difference between propaganda and performance. They know who is fixing the problems and who is merely talking about them.
Governors and lawmakers are decamping to APC because they see a future tied to performance, not empty rhetoric. Nigerians at home and abroad are realizing that stability and continuity under President Tinubu mean a more prosperous and respected nation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has begun the reconstruction of a new Nigeria, a nation built on productivity, fairness, and courage. He must be allowed to finish the work he started.
2027 is not a time for experiments; it is a time for consolidation.
2027 is not for noise makers; it is for nation builders. 2027 is not for regression; it is for restoration.
2027, it is still the turn of President Tinubu “ÈMILÓSI KÀN LẸẸKAN SÍ”….
Because Nigeria must not go backward.
