Why Tinubu May Still Win Re-election Despite Public Discontent

With just over three months until Nigeria’s January presidential election, President Bola Tinubu appears confident about winning a second term. He recently returned from a month-long stay in Europe after extending what was described as a working holiday. His confidence comes despite worsening insecurity, with kidnappings and killings reported frequently in several parts of the country. Many Nigerians are also yet to feel relief from economic reforms that have won praise from investors. Political challengers are seen as more popular in some northern states hardest hit by violence and economic hardship. The contest may therefore depend less on public approval alone and more on Nigeria’s complex electoral dynamics.
