On Saturday in Lafia, Nasarawa State, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu told a massive crowd of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters that President [Bola Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Tinubu) will move Nigeria “from reforms to prosperity” if he wins a second term in the 2027 presidential election.
**What key points did she emphasise?**
- The administration has passed the most difficult phase of its economic reforms and is now ready to deliver tangible benefits.
- Exchange‑rate pressures are easing, foreign investors are returning, and state governors are accelerating infrastructure projects.
- The federal government has completed a food‑bank programme aimed at children, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to combat malnutrition.
- She urged delegates from the six North‑Central states and the Federal Capital Territory to spread the message and mobilise for the APC in 2027.
**What did the First Lady say about the President’s leadership?**
"President Tinubu is a man who believes in the unity, security and prosperity of our nation," she declared, adding that his Independence Day address was titled “From Reforms to Prosperity.”
**How did she describe the economic outlook?**
"Foreign exchange is going down, and investors are coming back to Nigeria," she asserted, noting that governors are undertaking unprecedented infrastructural development.
**What social initiatives were highlighted?**
She explained that the recently concluded food‑bank programme provides nutritious food and treatment for malnourished children, as well as support for pregnant and lactating mothers.
**What call to action was made to the audience?**
The First Lady appealed for voters to “vote for continuity, vote for capacity, vote for prosperity,” urging support for President Tinubu, Vice‑President Kashim Shettima and all APC candidates in the upcoming election.
The rally, hosted by Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule, featured APC governors, federal lawmakers, ministers and party leaders. APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda described the event as a clear demonstration of the region’s commitment to the President’s re‑election. Six APC governors from the North‑Central zone endorsed the Tinubu‑Shettima ticket, while Secretary to the Government of the Federation Senator George Akume announced that the zone had adopted the President as its sole presidential candidate for 2027.
**What was the broader political significance?**
Other speakers echoed the First Lady’s stance, arguing that a vote for the APC in 2027 would consolidate the current administration’s reforms rather than reverse them.
