The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has urged Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu another term in office, arguing that his administration needs more time to deliver the full benefits of its economic reforms
Idris made the appeal on Thursday, November 12, at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign flag-off for the 2027 presidential and governorship elections at the Minna Trade Fair Complex in Niger State.
Acknowledging the economic difficulties confronting households, the minister admitted that rising living costs, poverty and hunger remained major concerns for many Nigerians.
However, he argued that the government’s ongoing reforms would require time to produce results that could be felt across the country.
“I appeal for the understanding of Nigerians. President Bola Tinubu means well for Nigerians. Let’s give him more time to complete the good things he has already started,” Idris said.

He also canvassed support for Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago, urging residents to renew his mandate in 2027.
According to the minister, Bago’s performance since assuming office had made a significant difference in the state, making his re-election necessary.
Idris further encouraged eligible voters to support APC candidates across all levels of government in the forthcoming elections, saying this would allow residents to benefit from the party’s programmes.
Speaking at the event, Bago pledged that Niger State would deliver 100 per cent of its votes to the APC in the 2027 elections.
The governor also promised that a second term in office would bring greater benefits to residents, urging them to vote for the party’s candidates in the presidential, governorship, senatorial and House of Representatives contests.
