52. Let The Chips Fall Where They May

52. Let The Chips Fall Where They May

In our latest current affairs episode we analyze the state of the APC and early rumblings of a mainstream opposition coalition ahead of 2027. Is the APC losing or simply reconstituting its elite base in the north? What is the strength of the ruling coalition? What might its fissures in the north and new ‘transfers’ in the south indicate about what might happen in the 2027 presidential elections? Will Nigerians fall for yet another neoliberal “bait and switch” via the SDP?


We also talk about the strength of the popular movement independent of mainstream political parties. How are they reacting to these economic pressures, possible alliances and their chances within the electoral arena? To close the episode, we discuss the rampant insecurity and rural mass murders in the Middle Belt analyzing it outside the usual veil of presidential conspiracy. We hope you enjoy listening and a happy May Day to you. Also let us know in the comments how you feel about the discussion and our new intro music.
