Nigeria's political landscape is undergoing a major shift as top politicians, including Nasir El-Rufai, defect and form new alliances ahead of the 2027 elections. With political heavyweights like Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and Rabiu Kwankwaso holding meetings, speculations are ripe about further defections and realignments. In today's episode of Nigeria Daily, we analyze these developments with key political figures and experts to understand what lies ahead.

Nigeria's political scene is witnessing moves hinting at strategic alliances involving Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Olusegun Obasanjo. Many wonder if this could lead to a development reminiscent of APC's  formation that unseated PDP in 2014. In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we explore this development and its implications for the 2027 elections.

The People's Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the February 25, 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has called for a single term 6-year rotational presidency amongst the 6 geopolitical zones.Would this see a more unified Nigeria?In this episode of our Daily Podcast, we ask if this recommendation by Atiku Abubakar would work in Nigeria's political space.

Bola Tinubu was sworn in as Nigeria's president in May this year, after winning the country's most competitive election since the end of military rule in 1999. Defeated candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi challenged his victory in court, alleging the result was manipulated. On Thursday, Nigeria's Supreme Court unanimously ruled against the challenge.

Bola Tinubu was officially sworn in as President of Nigeria just over 100 days ago. Since then, opposition candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have alleged widespread fraud in the election. But last week, Nigeria's Appeal Court rejected challenges to his narrow victory. The problems President Tinubu inherited are huge. There's widespread insecurity, the cost of living crisis, high unemployment, a shrinking oil industry and high inflation. So how's he begun to deal with those challenges? And are people happy with the job he's doing so far? Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje has been looking at this with the BBC's Chris Ewokor in the capital Abuja.

Elections in countries outside the United States provide some of the most lucrative opportunities in political gambling.  The fact that traders know little about these countries and information is hard to track down creates market distortions that saavy traders know how to exploit. In this episode, Pratik interviews three traders—Naman Mehndiratta, Jay Yu, and Paul Krishnamurty—who have made money on recent elections in Nigeria, Hungary, and elsewhere and have advice on how to apply their insights for upcoming contests in Turkey and Greece.

In Nigeria's pivotal election, the so-called godfather of Lagos and Nigeria's kingmaker, Bola Tinubu, snatched victory. This comes amid calls of election fraud from the opposition parties and their two candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Tinubu nonetheless faces compounding crises amid persistent security threats in Nigeria and a flailing economy dependent on oil revenues. Yet Nigeria also holds great potential as Africa's most populous nation and largest economy with a young population looking for a reason to remain in Nigeria if the conditions improve.Ruth Maclean, the West Africa bureau chief from the New York Times, joins Stewart to unpack Nigeria's consequential election and where the Giant of Africa goes from here. The two discuss the immediate crises Tinubu must confront early on in his presidency, how to solve Nigeria's endemic brain drain, and the reverberating effects the new president will have in West Africa.

Former Nigerian vice President, Atiku Abubakar leads a 'black uniform' march by his party, PDP, to the headquarters of the electoral commission INEC. The Presidential candidate said the February 25th poll was compromised and his party demands a re-run after saying they'll challenge it in courts. Also, a BBC investigation exposes a major trade in heroin on the Seychelles Islands, but also what could be the biggest heroin epidemic for a nation globally. Plus, FESPACO ends in Burkina Faso with Tunisia winning the grand prize and a film by a Burkinabe director on the scourge of jihadism in the country coming second. Those stories and more in this podcast with Bola Mosuro.

The head of Nigeria's electoral commission, Mahmood Yakubu, declared Bola Tinubu the winner of the presidential election this week. It's been an election fraught with problems. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said technical glitches meant the electronic voting system, used for the first time at national level, delivered results slower than expected. And now the losing candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi have called for the election to be rerun, saying early results show there was fraud. Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje has been looking at what this disputed presidential election means for Nigeria.

Later this week, Nigerians will head to the polls to elect a new President. To ease the decision-making process, we have been digging into the three main candidates to help voters get a better sense of who they are. What do we know about their childhood(s)? What do their pre-political days tell us about their candidacies? How did they get into Politics? What is the case for or against their candidacies? What are their chances? For Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), this is potentially his last shot at an office he first sought about 30 years ago.

Nigerian politics might be on the verge of total upheaval. As Africa's largest democracy heads to the polls on February 25, a third presidential candidate is disrupting what has in recent years been a two-horse race. Peter Obi, of the tiny Labour Party, is leading most polls ahead of more established candidates Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress. But in a country where polling data is a new phenomenon, will he actually win?

Nigerians will go to the polls on 25 February to elect a new president. The election is shaping up as a three-way contest between Bola Tinubu, a veteran Nigerian politician from the ruling All Progressives Congress party, Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, and Peter Obi, who appears to have won over many young Nigerians. A cash crisis, caused by a bungled government policy to replace old banknotes, plus fuel shortages look set to complicate the vote. The country also grapples with an array of security threats – jihadist insurgencies in the north east, kidnapping and banditry especially in the north west, herder-farmer violence, and, in the south west, separatist violence, including against election staff. Despite a pact among the presidential candidates to avoid hate speech, their supporters often resort to divisive rhetoric. This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood speaks with Ayo Obe, Crisis Group's Trustee and a Lagos-based lawyer and human rights activist, and ​​Nnamdi Obasi, Crisis Group's senior Nigeria adviser, about the forthcoming vote. They look at the three main contenders, their campaigns and their prospects. They also discuss the impact of rampant insecurity on the vote and why identity politics look set to shape this election more than previous ones. They talk about the potential fallout from the cash crunch, concerns about vote-buying and risks of post-election disputes. Finally, they reflect on incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari's legacy and the challenges facing his successor.

On 25 February, Nigerians go to the ballot box to vote for their next president. For the first time in a long time, the Incumbent president will not be contesting the elections – having already served the maximum allowed two terms. Since 2016, the country has spiralled down as inflation has hit over 20% and unemployment rides at around 30% overall, and 60% for the young. Banditry and kidnappings have become lucrative methods of making a living in the country and a pervading sense that this could be now or never for Nigerians hangs ominously. Three candidates have emerged as the front runners for the elections. The stalwarts Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress, or APC, and Atiku Abubakar, of the People's Democratic Party, or DPD, are familiar faces from familiar parties. Power has been shared between the two parties since 1999. Peter Obi is the outsider who has taken a dramatic lead over recent weeks in the polls. He represents the Labour Party who have never held power and is offering to run the country in a different manner to what the country has been used to thus far. Foreshadowing the entire event is the expectation that Nigeria is expected to reach a population of around 400 million by 2050, making it the fourth largest country in terms of population by this date. That is an increase of around 60-80% of the current population estimates. Ensuring the infrastructure is in place for such a boom in population will be pivotal to Nigeria's ability to both maximise the potential for its citizens whilst gaining the most from them.

Last night, some of the leading presidential candidates took to the great political marketplace for their ideas- the debate stage. While the APC's Bola Tinubu opted to party, the PDP's Atiku Abubakar was represented by his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa. Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Kola Abiola also took to the stage.
