President Bola Tinubu has expressed optimism that more politicians will defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the 2027 general elections approach.
Speaking on Thursday, May 22, at the APC Renewed Hope Agenda Summit held at the State House Conference Centre, the President described the APC as the party carrying the hopes of Nigerians.
According to his spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu told party leaders, members of the National Assembly, and governors in attendance that his administration’s economic reforms have begun yielding positive results. “You don’t expect people to remain in a sinking ship without a life jacket. I’m happy with what we’ve accomplished and expecting more people to come. That’s the game,” Tinubu stated.
He added that Nigeria’s constitution gives citizens the right to freely associate, noting that a healthy democracy cannot function effectively under a one-party system.

Highlighting the need for hard decisions, he cited the removal of multiple foreign exchange rates as a critical move to curb corruption and encourage foreign investment. “Our reforms are working. We must stay the course,” he said, reiterating his commitment to long-term national progress.
