The All Progressives Congress unveiled its 2027–2031 presidential manifesto on Tuesday in Abuja. Officials presented the 109-page document titled From Reform to Prosperity at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre.
The party structured the agenda around four pillars. These cover a secure and resilient nation, a better quality and more affordable life, energy infrastructure and economic growth, and effective accountable governance.
Under the first pillar, the manifesto commits to stronger protection against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. It further pledges recruitment and training of 78,000 additional security personnel by 2031. This figure includes 28,000 military personnel and 50,000 police officers.
Meanwhile, the second pillar targets lower living costs and food security. Officials stated that inflation would follow a sustained downward path while domestic food production expands and post-harvest losses are halved.
Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry Trade and Investment, outlined the energy and growth targets. She said the plan aims to scale available electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts by 2031. In addition, the document promises annual economic growth of six per cent, one million export-linked jobs for young people, and an industrial hub in each geopolitical zone.
Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, described the manifesto as a contract with voters. He stated that the four pillars bring together security and a more affordable life supported by energy infrastructure. He added that the government commits to a system that answers to the people it serves.
Atiku Bagudu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, told the gathering that the reforms of the first term must now deliver visible benefits. He said the manifesto belongs to Nigerians who believe in the message of shared prosperity.
The document also sets goals to halve the number of out-of-school children, deploy 20,000 additional teachers, expand health insurance coverage to 40 per cent of the population, and ensure that 90 per cent of primary healthcare centres function properly. It further plans construction of 200,000 affordable homes.
Party leaders invited citizens to hold the administration accountable for the targets listed in the manifesto.
