00:00Nigeria's President Bola Tanubu will run for re-election in January after clinching his party's presidential nomination with a landslide
00:09victory in the all-progressives' Congress primaries.
00:13Tanubu's only challenger, Stanley Osifo, received zero votes in several states.
00:20Announcing the results on Saturday, the APC hailed the largely peaceful process as proof of the party's internal democracy.
00:30Tanubu is favorite to win the 2027 election, where he's set to face a weakened and divided opposition.
00:37Since taking office in 2023, he's passed a number of reforms intended to boost the economy and reassure international investors.
00:47But inflation remains high, and fuel prices have quadrupled in four years.
00:53According to the World Bank, some 60% of Nigerians live in poverty, a 4% increase from when Tanubu
01:01took office.
