In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with former IPAC Chairman High Chief Peter Ojonugwa-Ameh, who delivers a sharp critique of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, blaming Nigeria’s economic hardship and rising insecurity on leadership failure. He alleges the government is driven by foreign pressure and says recent kidnappings expose deeper structural decay.
Ameh raises concerns about porous borders, corruption, and what he describes as genocidal-level violence in parts of the country. He also faults some newly appointed ambassadors, saying their conduct reflects a worrying decline in national values.
Looking ahead to 2027, Ameh insists the opposition must field a southern candidate and openly backs Peter Obi as the best choice to challenge the ruling party. He argues that Obi’s appeal to young people and record of prudent governance make him the most viable alternative.
