Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu officially started his campaign for a second term on October 24, 2026, promising Nigerians "a better tomorrow" during a rally in Kaduna state, according to DW English.

Tinubu highlighted themes of prosperity, consistency, growth, recovery, and opportunity in his speech, as Nigeria prepares for its presidential election in January 2027, DW English reported.

The campaign is expected to center on Nigeria's ongoing economic and security challenges. Since taking office in 2023, Tinubu's decision to end long-standing fuel subsidies has contributed to inflation, sparking public discontent, according to DW English.

At the rally, Tinubu rejected criticism of his economic policies, attributing hunger and poverty to his political opponents and stating his administration is working to eradicate these issues, DW English noted.

Earlier in October, Tinubu acknowledged Nigeria's economic difficulties but emphasized that his reforms confront rather than cause the country's economic weaknesses, DW English added.
