Nigeria's Tinubu launches re-election campaign
President Bola Tinubu formally launched his campaign for a second term in the northern city of Kaduna on Saturday. He told voters that painful economic reforms are beginning to pay off. Many Nigerians still face a cost-of-living crisis.
Why it matters
The race will test support for reforms that affect prices for Africa's most populous country.
Background
Tinubu took office in 2023 and ended fuel subsidies and let the naira currency weaken. Prices rose sharply after those changes.
