Nasarawa Governor Sule Declares Tinubu Reforms Enough for 2027 Re-Election Victory
Lafia/Abuja, Nigeria—September 26, 2026—Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has expressed strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has delivered enough tangible results through bold economic reforms and other activities to earn re-election in 2027.
Speaking in a recent interview featured on social media platforms, the governor stated, “This government of (Tinubu) has done enough good for this country from the reforms from all the activities to get reelected; by the grace of God, the government will be reelected and from what we are seeing.”
The remarks come as political discussions intensify ahead of the next general elections, with Sule positioning the Tinubu-led government’s record as the foundation for continued public support.
Reforms Delivering Results at State Level
Governor Sule has repeatedly linked Nasarawa’s development gains directly to federal reforms, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies and foreign exchange market unification.
He has noted that the state’s monthly federal allocation rose sharply from between ₦3.8 billion and ₦4.5 billion before the reforms to an average of ₦14 billion to ₦16 billion.
This increased fiscal capacity, according to the governor, enabled his administration to execute infrastructure projects valued at approximately ₦90 billion without borrowing from commercial banks.
Key projects cited in earlier statements include flyovers, dualized roads, underpasses, and drainage works across the state.
Sule has previously described President Tinubu as having “taken the bullet” for states and local governments by implementing difficult but necessary reforms that expanded resources available to sub-national governments.
Consistent Voice of Support
The Nasarawa governor has emerged as one of the more consistent defenders of the federal administration’s economic direction.
He has argued that the visible impact of the reforms—improved revenue, infrastructure delivery, and development projects—translates into political goodwill for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in his state and beyond.
In the latest comments, Sule emphasized that the combination of reforms and ongoing government activities provides a sufficient basis for re-election, expressing faith that the outcomes already evident to Nigerians will determine the electoral outcome.
Political Context
Sule’s endorsement adds to a series of supportive statements from APC governors as the party consolidates ahead of 2027.
While the governor faces his own legal challenges following a recent election petition tribunal ruling (which he has vowed to appeal), he continues to speak on national political issues in his capacity as state chief executive.
Observers note that Sule’s message aligns with the administration’s broader narrative that the short-term hardships of reform are giving way to measurable gains in revenue, infrastructure, and economic stabilization.
As Nigeria moves closer to the next election cycle, statements such as Governor Sule’s are expected to form part of the emerging campaign conversation around performance, continuity, and the political rewards of difficult policy choices.
