The theme

Responsibilities of Nigerians in Electing and Holding Leaders Accountable

Let's stop pointing fingers for a minute.

  • Who refuses to vote and complains about bad leaders?
  • Who collects money to vote at the polling area?
  • Who makes excuses for leaders who fail to perform?
  • It is time to review our own performance as citizens!

It's not always the leaders' problem! Recurring governance challenges are sustained, in part, by an accountability gap between elections. With the 2027 general elections on the horizon, the stakes could not be higher.

Come! Let's engage constructively, truthfully and boldly as we search for answers and solutions. Join the conversation and ask your questions — every citizen's voice matters.

Let the people talk!
