The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, has expressed strong confidence that President Bola Tinubu will secure a convincing victory in the 2027 Presidential election, urging Nigerians and political stakeholders to rally behind the President’s reform agenda.
Speaking at his residence in Abuja on Saturday, Dr. Matawalle said President Tinubu’s leadership and policy direction have positioned the country on the path of economic stabilisation, institutional strengthening and national cohesion.
The minister cautioned against what he described as premature political manoeuvres and power struggles targeted at undermining the current administration, warning that such actions are self-serving and detrimental to Nigeria’s democratic stability.
He said, “President Tinubu has taken bold steps to stabilise the economy and strengthen national institutions.
“Those plotting to unseat him are motivated by personal interests rather than the public good. If allowed to complete his reform programme, I am confident the President will win convincingly in 2027.”
Matawalle noted that the impact of the President’s policies is already being felt across the country, particularly in the northern region, citing improvements in governance, security initiatives and institutional reforms.
He called on political actors to embrace constructive engagement instead of divisive tactics, stressing that national interest should take precedence over personal ambition.
The minister also appealed to Nigerians to support government policies aimed at promoting sustainable economic growth, improving security and strengthening national unity.
“Rather than engaging in rancour and short-term political calculations, we should focus on solutions that deliver jobs, security and stronger institutions for Nigerians,” he said.
