Rising Debt, Delayed Budgets and Nepotism: Why Tinubu Faces a Backlash

Nigerians feel the pinch of rising prices and shrinking patience. They see sacrifices without rewards. Public debt jumped by over ₦24 trillion, taking it above ₦120 trillion this year. Yet everyday life grows harder. Overlapping and delayed budgets stall projects. Poor execution means plans on paper never materialize in roads, schools or hospitals. Nepotism concerns have surfaced around key appointments and major contracts. High governance costs deepen the leadership-people gap and fuel unrest. If loans fail to deliver and insiders continue to benefit, public backlash will only grow.

I'm not convinced blaming nepotism alone explains delays. We also need to consider global inflation and supply chain disruptions affecting project timelines.
