#50 ----- Nigeria’s Fiesta of Distraction and Tragedy - a podcast by The Driot Media, Inc

from 2023-04-11T09:51

:: ::

We discuss Nigeria's recent political scandal and the distraction caused by Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed's interview. Instead, we argue that the focus should be on the conduct of the 2023 general elections, particularly the presidential polls, which were marred by violence, ballot snatching, and the sabotage of voters by some INEC officials. We explore whether the presidential election was manipulated to enthrone Bola Ahmed Tinubu and how this has led many Nigerians to believe that the presidency was stolen. Join us as we delve into this pressing issue in Nigerian politics.
