A disputed but court-upheld 2023 election; constitutional conduct so far; painful reforms with uncertain payoff.
Rows 1–4: country-level change during the tenure — evidence, not proof.
Our read
A contested mandate spent on reforms every economist urged and every household felt. Whether the pain buys a payoff will decide more than the next election.
The rise
A former Lagos State governor and the most powerful political kingmaker in southern Nigeria, Tinubu spent decades building the machine that carried him to the presidency in 2023.
