Nigeria’s political and national security landscape takes centre stage in this edition of Matters Arising, as questions emerge over an Ebola-related announcement, the debate over state police ahead of the 2027 elections, and fresh criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
1. FG, EBOLA AND THE POLITICAL QUESTIONS
Reports surrounding the Federal Government and Ebola have raised questions about public health preparedness and the handling of information. What exactly has the government confirmed, and is there evidence to suggest any political connection? Official statements and verified health information are essential to separating facts from speculation.
2. 2027: WILL NIGERIA HEAD INTO THE ELECTION WITH STATE POLICE?
The debate over state police continues as Nigerians consider how best to tackle insecurity ahead of the 2027 general election. Supporters argue that state-controlled police could improve local responses to crime, while critics warn of possible abuse by governors and political actors. The central question is whether adequate constitutional safeguards and accountability mechanisms can be established.
3. BABA-AHMED: TINUBU IS A FAILURE
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has sharply criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, questioning its performance amid concerns about economic hardship, insecurity and the cost of living. His remarks add to the growing debate over the government’s record as political parties prepare for 2027. The administration’s policies and its defence of ongoing reforms remain part of that debate.
As Nigeria approaches another election cycle, public health transparency, security reform and government accountability remain important national issues.
Join the discussion: What should Nigerians demand from their leaders before 2027?
