Nigeria has officially entered another crucial election season, with political parties and candidates beginning the race towards the 2027 general elections. INEC has set February 20, 2027, for the presidential and National Assembly elections, placing the country firmly in campaign mode. But beyond rallies, slogans, political defections and the battle for delegates and supporters, Nigerians are asking a much more fundamental question: What exactly are political parties offering the electorate? The concerns facing ordinary Nigerians are enormous. The cost of living, unemployment, insecurity, poverty, food prices and declining purchasing power are likely to dominate the political conversation.
