Where Obi stands.

Economy

The fuel subsidy was removed in May 2023, tripling pump prices, but with no clear social safety net.

The naira lost over 60% of its value against the dollar in 2023–2024 after CBN unified the exchange rate.

Food inflation hit 40%+ in 2024. Farmer-herder violence and FX scarcity for inputs have crippled output.

Nigeria's tax-to-GDP ratio is ~10% - among the lowest in Africa. Multiple taxes choke MSMEs.

Security

Banditry, kidnapping, Boko Haram, ISWAP, separatist agitation in the South-East, and farmer-herder clashes have displaced millions and choked agricultural output across Nigeria.

Nigeria generates ~4–5 GW for 220+ million people. The grid collapses repeatedly and most businesses run on diesel.

Nigeria's per-capita health spend is among the lowest globally. Out-of-pocket payment exceeds 70% of total health spend.

Governance

EFCC and ICPC convictions remain low relative to scale of fraud. Elite capture of state institutions is endemic.

Election-petition jurisprudence has eroded public faith in the courts. Trial delays exceed a decade for major cases.

Governance

Calls for true fiscal federalism - revenue collection at the unit level, not by Abuja - have grown across geo-political zones.

Roughly 17 million Nigerians abroad currently cannot vote. The Electoral Act 2022 did not extend the franchise.
