In this powerful and revealing episode of The Olah Show, we sit down with Honourable Babajide Obanikoro, a leading Nigerian political figure, for one of the most honest conversations on Nigerian politics today.
From the harsh realities of losing elections, to the shocking truth that the average political campaign in Nigeria now costs over ₦250 million, Hon. Obanikoro opens up about the emotional, financial, and strategic side of public service that most politicians never discuss publicly.
He explains why four years in office is not enough to fix Nigeria’s deep-rooted challenges, sharing insider perspectives on governance, political pressure, public expectations, and the realities of policy implementation in Lagos and Nigeria at large.
This episode explores:
- Why meaningful national development cannot happen in just one political term
- What politicians learn after losing major elections
- The real cost of running for office in Nigeria
- How money, power, and influence shape Nigerian democracy
- The future of Lagos politics and Nigeria’s political system
This is not a typical political interview — it is a rare, unfiltered look inside Nigerian governance from a man who has lived it.
Whether you are interested in Nigerian politics, leadership, governance, elections, public policy, democracy in Africa, or the future of Lagos State, this episode will change the way you see power and public service.
