2027 presidential election race taking shape
The 2027 presidential election is expected to be a three-way contest. President Tinubu is the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar is running on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Peter Obi was ratified as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) on May 29, 2026, having resigned from the ADC.
Since coming to power in May 2023, Tinubu's administration has pushed through sweeping economic reforms, most notably ending the fuel subsidy and allowing the naira to float freely. A recent World Bank report noted that Nigeria recorded its highest economic growth in a decade under these policies.

Nigeria’s rising costs shape 2027 politics
Despite the reported growth, many Nigerians continue to bear the burden of rising costs. Food, housing, and transportation have become harder to afford for millions of households, and insecurity remains a concern across several parts of the country. Some Nigerians have directed their frustration at the president, while others have accused political actors of exploiting the situation for electoral gain, arguing that such moves weaken collective efforts to stabilise the country.
With a few months to the presidential election, opposition parties are banking on these pressures to build support, though analysts note that their chances remain far from certain.
Osasogie shares vision on 'election outcome'
