The Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will secure a decisive victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Matawalle made this statement on Saturday while hosting guests at his residence in Abuja. He urged Nigerians and political leaders across the country to rally behind the Tinubu administration and support its reform agenda.
According to the minister, the President’s leadership approach and policy decisions are already placing Nigeria on the path to economic recovery, institutional strength, and national cohesion. He cautioned politicians against early power struggles and political manoeuvres aimed at weakening the present government, which he said could damage the nation’s democratic process.
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 stated that the impact of the administration’s policies is becoming visible across the country. He noted that the northern region has recorded notable improvements, particularly in governance reforms, security measures, and institutional growth.
He also called on political stakeholders to embrace dialogue and cooperation instead of division. The minister stressed that national interest should take precedence over personal ambitions.
Matawalle further appealed to citizens to support government programmes aimed at achieving sustained economic growth, improved security, and stronger unity among Nigerians.
“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.
