2027: Tinubu will win second term based on achievements – Alausa
The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, expressed confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s prospects for re-election in 2027, citing the administration’s achievements as a basis for securing a second term.
In his recent role as Director of Education Sector Mobilisation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Alausa criticized opposition parties for lacking a clear agenda and vision for the Nigerian populace.
Speaking on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” on Tuesday, Alausa accused opposition politicians of harboring envy and lacking the necessary governance capabilities. “Whatever nonsense these people are talking about is out of sheer envy,” he said, asserting that the opposition has proven incapable during their time in power.
He emphasized that President Tinubu has delivered tangible benefits to Nigerians, stating, “I am very unapologetic about this; President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win his second term squarely based on his achievements.”
Alausa went on to claim that Tinubu has made significant transformations across various sectors of the economy, warranting re-election on January 16, 2027.
In his remarks, Alausa encouraged Nigerians to disregard the opposition, alleging that they aim to foster division rather than provide a viable alternative to the ruling APC. “They don’t have any clear agenda for this country. They are just there to cause division amongst us,” he added.
The minister highlighted the Federal Government’s relationship with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as an example of Tinubu’s accomplishments in the education sector. He stated that the administration has honored its agreements with the union and is working towards ensuring that university students can complete their programs within the designated four-year timeframe.
Alausa asserted that under Tinubu’s leadership, ASUU has not initiated any strike since he took office, viewing this as a sign of improved relations between the government and university lecturers.
