Cost of Living Tests Political Loyalty Ahead of Nigeria’s Next Election

Rising food, fuel, transport and electricity costs are forcing many Nigerians to weigh their political loyalties against their daily economic realities. Supporters of the current administration argue that subsidy removal and exchange-rate reforms were necessary, while critics question whether households have received enough protection from the hardship that followed. The debate goes beyond party affiliation. Families are struggling with higher market prices, school expenses, healthcare costs and electricity bills, while insecurity continues to endanger lives and livelihoods in many communities. These pressures have made accountability a central public concern. As the next general election approaches, Nigerians should judge governments by the effect of their policies on food, jobs, security, education, healthcare and living standards. Political support should not prevent citizens from demanding clear answers on public spending, welfare interventions and the management of economic reforms.
