Nigeria’s Democracy: Are Institutions Stronger Than Politicians? | Morning Edition

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:14:26 +0000

Constitutional lawyer and public affairs analyst, Liborous Oshoma, joins the Morning Edition to examine the state of Nigeria’s democratic institutions and whether they are strong enough to operate independently of political influence. The conversation explores the EFCC’s freezing of the Osun State Government account, President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, the powers of anti-corruption agencies, and the growing concern over institutional independence and accountability.

The discussion also looks at Nigeria’s fragmented opposition ahead of the 2027 elections, political patronage, the role of citizens in holding government accountable, and the need for stronger civic orientation. Osho argues that meaningful democratic progress requires institutions that can outlive individual politicians, while urging Nigerians to better understand their role in demanding accountability from those entrusted with public office.
