Nigeria @66: We have had the worst species of political operators in human history - Chris Nwaokobia

Nigeria marks 66 years of independence with political parties and major political actors already repositioning ahead of the 2027 general elections. With defections, new alliances and opposition realignments reshaping the political space, questions remain about party strength, internal democracy, accountability and the future direction of Nigeria’s democratic system. INEC has scheduled the presidential and National Assembly elections for February 20, 2027, with governorship and State House of Assembly elections to follow on March 6. Professor Chris Nwaokobia, Lawyer and Public Affairs Analyst, and Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, join the conversation to examine Nigeria’s political position at 66 and what the current realignments mean for the country’s democracy.
