President Bola Tinubu has announced plans to expand Nigeria’s digital infrastructure with a 90,000km fibre network and create one million digital jobs by 2027. The initiative aims to secure support from the tech sector.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) criticized Tinubu’s campaign spokesperson for failing to demonstrate the 112 emergency line during a live broadcast. The incident highlighted concerns over government preparedness.
Opposition lawmakers, including those from the Labour Party, have expressed support for Tinubu, citing the inclusive leadership style of Speaker Abbas Tajudeen. This support comes amid ongoing political tensions.
A grassroots mobilization group in Enugu State has begun campaigning for Tinubu and Governor Peter Mbah’s re-election. The group pledged support for all APC candidates in the state.
Former lawmaker Dino Melaye urged Tinubu to heed advice from former Minister Jerry Gana, suggesting the president should address recent political challenges more effectively.
Tinubu’s campaign faces mixed reactions, with some praising his infrastructure plans and others criticizing his team’s public performance. The 2027 elections remain a key focus for political actors across the country.
