The decision was taken on Thursday during a meeting of that political organization’s departmental chiefs, held in this capital, on the 2nd anniversary of Tinubu’s presidency.
The ruling party’s leaders favored continuing with the economic reforms promoted by Tinubu, which ended the fuel subsidy and the exchange rate liberalization. Those measures were criticized by the political opposition due to a rise in inflation and the cost of living.
Tinubu, 73, won the February 2023 elections.
During his two-year term, inflation rose nearly four percent, sparking nationwide protests over the last year.
