The France chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared strong support for President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s joint presidential bid ahead of the 2027 general election, saying the administration’s economic reforms have strengthened Nigeria’s growth trajectory.
The endorsement was announced by the chapter’s leadership following an assessment of the current administration’s performance, particularly its handling of economic challenges and development policies aimed at stabilising the national economy.
Diaspora chapter chairperson, Hajia Amina Suzuki, said members of the party in France were convinced that the Tinubu-led administration had demonstrated courage in implementing difficult but necessary economic reforms. She said these policies were already producing measurable results in key sectors of the economy.
She highlighted improvements in public finance management, renewed activity in the oil and gas sector, and increased foreign investment inflows as evidence that international confidence in Nigeria’s economic outlook was gradually improving.
According to her, the administration’s development agenda has also prioritised infrastructure expansion, social welfare programmes, youth empowerment initiatives and improved security architecture as part of efforts to drive sustainable national transformation.
She added that Vice President Kashim Shettima had played a significant role in coordinating policy implementation and strengthening executive collaboration in governance.
The chapter described the Tinubu–Shettima partnership as a leadership model built on competence, vision and political will to reposition Nigeria as a globally competitive economy.
It also announced plans to mobilise diaspora voters and support grassroots political engagement ahead of the 2027 polls, stating that Nigerians abroad would participate actively in voter education and political mobilisation campaigns.
Party leaders urged Nigerians at home and abroad to support continuity in governance, arguing that sustained leadership would help consolidate existing reforms and protect economic gains already achieved.
The statement concluded that Nigeria’s current developmental path requires stability, strategic policy continuity and collective national commitment to long-term economic recovery.
