21. "Buhari walked so that Tinubu could run": From right wing-statism to the Lagos Model

In this episode, we put @SaeeduH on the hot-seat to discuss his recent article for @Africaisacountry on the ideological and economic legacies of the Buhari administration (we also challenge @SLASHER_OAG on whether Buharism and the Lagos Model suggest that the ruling classes have adopted a more complex mode of legitimation than the classic you chop, I chop model).


Is there a perspective from which Buhari's economic policies actually succeeded? Has Tinubu come to abolish Buhari-ism or to fulfill it? Why did some commentators think that a self-described 'radical-conservative' member of the 'Kaduna mafia' was a socialist? And why do Nigerians know so little about the various intellectual traditions that have influenced their political class?


Enjoy.


Meanwhile, we also preview some of our exciting new announcements, including our upcoming reading group on Nigerian political economy...
