PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS

21 August 2026

Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.

I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.

I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.

Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.

According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.

These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.

Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.

LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS

My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.

In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.

As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.

Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.

BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS

Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:

Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?

These are the measures that matter.

With your mandate, our economic agenda will put production, investment, enterprise, and human capital at the centre of how we lead.

We will raise agricultural productivity by securing farming communities, expanding irrigation, improving rural roads and storage, and linking farmers to finance and markets. We will also strengthen manufacturing and agro-processing so Nigeria can export more finished goods and capture greater value from its resources.

Stick around but don’t get involved. Be great at your job and always talk about it at every opportunity you get. Make them understand the problem and the amount of effort put in resolving the problem.

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

Corporate politics is the worst type of politics. You won’t know where your problems are coming from.

Be wise at your workplace.

[LIVELY @mc_lively_]

This is what you will see on the ballot!!

Let’s gooooo

Just 20 minutes ago, York University, Canada has now reinstated this boy’s admission.

They went through my X account, saw the concerns I raised about WAEC, and concluded that there was an issue with WAEC.

The boy is now happy and will travel to Canada for his education.

She didn’t steal. She didn’t defraud anyone. Yet EFCC has reportedly kept Maryam Shehu in detention for over 30 days after she raised corruption allegations against EFCC officials.

If she committed a crime, charge her in court. If not, release her.

An agency cannot be complainant, investigator and judge in a case involving its own officials.

Investigation is not punishment. Free Maryam Shehu.

“2027 campaign, I won’t be touring with Peter Obi like I did in 2023. I’ll be focused on grassroots mobilisation, voter education and monitoring INEC’s activities to protect our results.”

[Maxvayshia™ @maxvayshia]

Confidently saying in public that you are called upon only when corruption, rigging and hooliganism are needed to win an election, is very wild.

A whole new level of shamelessness unlocked.
