2027: Tinubu Committed to Free, Fair, Credible Elections, Says Information Minister.
Idris gave the assurance during an interview with TRT World, Türkiye’s international broadcaster, on the sidelines of the TRT World Forum 2026 in Istanbul, Türkiye.
The forum, which opened yesterday, is being held under the theme, ‘A World Without a Centre: Who Leads When the Rules Run Out?’ The minister said the federal government would continue to support Nigeria’s democratic institutions, particularly the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while respecting its constitutional independence.
He stressed that the administration was committed to creating an enabling environment for the electoral umpire to discharge its responsibilities effectively and ensure that the wishes of Nigerians prevailed at the polls.
“Let me assure Nigerians and the international community that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is fully committed to free, fair and credible elections in 2027. We will continue to support the democratic process and ensure that the will of the Nigerian people prevails,” he said. On concerns about insecurity and its potential impact on the 2027 general elections, Idris said the federal government was intensifying efforts to tackle security challenges across the country. He cited the recruitment of additional military personnel and the procurement of equipment by the Tinubu administration as measures aimed at strengthening the operational capacity of the Armed Forces to combat insecurity.
