The All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a four-pillar manifesto outlining President Bola Tinubu’s agenda for a second term in office, with promises to tackle insecurity, reduce the cost of living, expand infrastructure and strengthen governance between 2027 and 2031.
The manifesto, titled ‘Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0’ / ‘From Reforms to Prosperity’, was unveiled by the party’s Presidential Campaign Council on Tuesday, November 10, in Abuja.
The 109-page document consolidates the eight-point agenda of the Tinubu administration into four strategic pillars:
1. Secure and Resilient Nation
2. Better Quality and More Affordable Life for Every Nigerian
3. Energy, Infrastructure and Economic Growth
4. Effective and Accountable Governance
The party said the new framework was designed to build on the economic reforms and other policies implemented during Tinubu’s first term, with the aim to improve on them and living conditions of Nigerians.
Pillar 1: Secure and Resilient Nation
The first pillar focuses on tackling terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other security threats.
The APC promised to recruit 28,000 additional military personnel and complete four new Army divisions in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo and Benin City.
It also promised to deploy 50,000 new police officers and strengthen intelligence and border security.
Pillar 2: Better Quality and More Affordable Life
The second pillar covers education, healthcare, jobs and social welfare.
The manifesto pledged to reduce out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure from 71 per cent to below 50 per cent, expand the number of functional primary healthcare centres to 90 per cent and establish the Tinubu Mass Social Housing Scheme across the country’s 774 local government areas.
It also retained cash transfers and school feeding as key social protection measures, and promised to build 200,000 homes.
Pillar 3: Energy, Infrastructure and Economic Growth
Under the third pillar, the APC targets 6 per cent annual economic growth by 2031 and repeats the administration’s ambition of a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
For electricity, the plan aims to scale generation towards 10,000 megawatts, strengthen transmission and distribution, and install seven million additional meters.
The manifesto also highlighted economic indicators which the administration presented as achievements since 2023. These included foreign reserves of $55.3bn as of September 2026, gross domestic product growth of 4.43 per cent in the second quarter of 2026 and inflation of 14.63 per cent in September 2026.
Pillar 4: Effective and Accountable Governance
Under the fourth pillar, the APC pledged to strengthen the justice system, fight corruption, improve public service delivery and deepen local government autonomy.
The party also promised a public scorecard for tracking delivery of the manifesto promises.
The document contains at least 35 specific promises, according to reports.
A comparison of the 2027 document with the 2023 manifesto shows similarities in areas including housing, agriculture, electricity, transportation, healthcare, youth employment, women’s empowerment, social protection, national security, industrialisation, identity management, judicial reform and water supply, with fresh targets and timelines attached to some of the proposals.
The presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled for January 16, 2027.
