Nigeria’s Tinubu launches re-election campaign
President Bola Tinubu seeks to convince voters that painful economic reforms are beginning to pay off despite a lingering cost-of-living crisis.
President Bola Tinubu inaugurated his bid for a second term on Saturday in Kaduna, highlighting the economic and security challenges facing Nigeria. The 74-year-old leader pledged to continue reforms that have improved public finances and investor confidence, but warned of lingering cost-of-living issues. His opponents, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, claim Tinubu's economic policies have caused a severe crisis.
While proponents argue Tinubu's support from 32 state governors bolsters his electoral prospects, opposition parties accuse him of deflecting responsibility for Nigeria's problems. Tinubu's campaign will focus on the economy and security, with rallies scheduled in twelve states leading up to the January 16 election.
