Fractured opposition battles Nigeria's Tinubu as presidential campaigns begin

Presidential campaigns have begun in Nigeria, with incumbent Bola Tinubu seeking reelection amid worsening economic and security crises that have generated voter anger. While challenged by many opposition candidates, including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, analysts note that a split anti-incumbent vote could give the president an advantage. Despite his election promises, critics argue that poor implementation of massive economic reforms has led to severe national hardship.
