In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits with Shehu Sani, former senator and activist, who offers a broad take on governance, opposition politics, and Nigeria’s path to 2027.

Sani assesses the Tinubu administration, acknowledging key reforms but criticizing their impact on citizens, particularly the handling of fuel subsidy removal. He argues that Nigeria’s political parties lack real ideological differences and links opposition weakness, especially within the PDP, to internal crises rather than external pressure.

On 2027, he advocates for a southern presidency in the interest of equity and urges greater youth participation in politics. He also emphasizes the need for stronger security efforts and regional cooperation to address insecurity.

In this episode of the Mic on Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits with Dr Charles Omole, security policy expert and legal practitioner, who enters the national conversation with a sweeping critique of Nigeria’s security architecture and a call for reforms ahead of the 2027 elections.

He examines the worsening security crisis and whether state policing could provide a credible solution to kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, and terrorism.

The security expert stresses that security institutions must be insulated from politics, calls for rigorous recruitment and integrity testing in the military and police, and warns that reforms like the state police must be carefully implemented to be effective.
