On the 25 February Nigeria will be electing its 14th president. As incumbent Muhammadu Buhari's second and final four year term as president comes to close he is barred from having more than two terms. 18 people (1 woman) are vying  to succeed him at Aso Rock (presidential residence).

In this four-part episode we talk to Desmond Okumbor, a PhD candidate at Oxford University in Political Science and an SDG Research Fellow. Key topics we discus include the four-front runner candidates, the power of the youth vote, the state of the economy and in the last one we look at how this election could determine Nigeria's foreign policy.

IN THIS EPISODE

We discuss foreign policy in this episode. Nigeria's economy, population and miltary makes it a lynchpin of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States). In this final Episode we briefly discuss where Nigeria's next leader might take Nigeria internationally.

We end by looking at Google Trends of front-runner candidates.
