“As we observed a year ago, the existential challenges above are symptomatic of a fundamental malaise in the political economy, calling for urgent public policy attention.“Disappointingly, it would seem to be the case that the ruling party at the centre is more obsessed with unprecedented early campaigns, defections to it, and other manoeuvres for re-election in 2027, amidst putative celebrations of mid-term policy successes.”Reported division in Tinubu’s baseMeanwhile, there are cracks in the south-west home base of President Tinubu, months to the formal commencement of activities leading to the 2027 general elections.
