President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to judge his administration by its record of achievements rather than political promises ahead of the 2027 elections.
The President made the appeal on Tuesday at the official launch of the Minimum Pension Guarantee Scheme at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. He was represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
“Please judge me by my record in this election,” Tinubu said.
He challenged political opponents seeking public office to present their records of performance, particularly on pension protection and retirees’ welfare, instead of making fresh promises.
Tinubu announced that his administration had ended a 22-year delay in implementing the Minimum Pension Guarantee Scheme, designed to ensure contributors under the Contributory Pension Scheme receive a guaranteed minimum income in retirement.
He also unveiled related initiatives aimed at improving healthcare access for low-income retirees.
The President maintained that the economic reforms introduced since 2023 were necessary to rebuild the country and secure its future, arguing that increased revenues had strengthened the capacity of state governments to invest in infrastructure, education, healthcare and outstanding pension liabilities.
