As Nigeria commemorates 26 years of uninterrupted democratic governance, we are compelled to ask: How far have we truly come, and how much further do we need to go? While this milestone deserves celebration, it also demands reflection.
In this issue of The Ballot, we bring you stories that capture the duality of Nigeria’s democratic journey. From commendable strides like the national recognition of Yiaga Africa’s Samson Itodo, to troubling developments such as questions over INEC’s credibility and concerns about one-party dominance, the newsletter presents a balanced yet worrying view of our democratic reality.
We invite you to explore these critical updates, perspectives, and reflections. As always, The Ballot is committed to fostering informed citizenship, amplifying civic voices, and encouraging constructive dialogue.
