Tinubu is in the right position to be a statesman | Obi has lost momentum - Joseph Edgar

Joseph Edgar, popularly known as the Duke of Shomolu, questions Nigeria's political leadership, weak democratic institutions and the opposition's ability to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Speaking on Sunny Irabo Live, Edgar insists that Nigeria needs statesmanship over political self-interest, while criticising the National Assembly, the media, and citizens for failing to hold leaders accountable. He also discusses Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, electoral reforms, voter education, economic hardship and the importance of protecting democracy from military rule.
