Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:13:04 +0000

Nigeria’s Bola Tinubu was elected on promises to tackle the nation’s widespread violence and address two of its root causes: Poverty and corruption. But with the country going to the polls next year, has he delivered on his "Renewed Hope" agenda?

Mehdi Hasan goes head-to-head with Daniel Bwala, Tinubu’s once staunch critic-turned-Special Adviser on Media and Policy Communications, on the administration’s record in office and where he stands on his past accusations against his current boss.

Joining the discussion are:
Ayisha Osori - Director, Open Society Foundations Ideas Workshop
Aanu Adeoye - Journalist, Financial Times
Tunde Doherty - UK chairman, All Progressives Congress
