The 2027 elections are almost here. And as usual, much of the attention is on who becomes President or Governor. But what about the other elected officials whose decisions also affect our everyday lives? Here's something many Nigerians overlook: Unlike Presidents and Governors, Senators and members of the House of Representatives have no constitutional term limits. They can remain in office for 12, 16 years or even longer, provided they keep getting re-elected. Yet how many of us truly understand their responsibilities or hold them accountable? In this Know Your Candidates Special Edition, we explain how Nigeria's government works, what each elected office is responsible for, and why every level of representation matters. Whether you're a first-time voter or have voted for decades, don't simply vote for a party logo across the ballot.Understand the offices, examine the candidates, know the issues at stake and make informed choices.

LAGOS 2027: CONTINUITY OR A DIFFERENT DIRECTION? For 27 years, Lagos has been governed within one political tradition. Rail lines, major infrastructure projects and economic growth. But also flooded roads, traffic gridlock, refuse, inadequate public services and street extortion. Has Lagos achieved enough with the enormous resources at its disposal? Now, 17 candidates are seeking to govern Nigeria's economic capital. What deserves to continue? What must change? And who has a credible plan to deliver? Our latest Know Your Candidates episode examines the achievements, the unfinished work and the contenders seeking to lead Lagos. No political party owns the votes of Lagosians. Watch before you decide. @drobafemihamzat @GRVlagos @AdedejiDoherty1 @funsodoherty @OfficialKOH2027 @grvlagosmedia @NigeriaNDCHQ @NDC_Lagos @ADCNig @adelajaadeoye @segalink #KnowYourCandidates #Lagos2027 #NigeriaDecides2027

TO EVERY CANDIDATE SEEKING NIGERIANS' VOTES IN 2027: THE MICROPHONE IS OPEN. BUT SO ARE THE QUESTIONS. Nigeria doesn't need another election in which politicians make grand promises, voters argue over personalities, and the difficult questions remain unanswered. Know Your Candidates is an independent political documentary series created to change how we examine those seeking public office. We investigate their backgrounds, public records, achievements, controversies and campaign promises. We ask what they intend to do, how they intend to pay for it, and what evidence suggests they can deliver. We've already examined the leading presidential contenders, including some of the less familiar names on the ballot. Now, our Governorship Series has begun with Oyo State. Ogun, Lagos, Rivers, Kaduna and other states will follow. OUR NEXT CHAPTER IS A DIRECT INVITATION TO THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES. Whether you're contesting the presidency, governorship, Senate or House of Representatives, we want to hear your case. Watch the series. Examine our questions. And if you believe your ideas, experience and proposals deserve closer public attention, come and make your case in a dedicated Know Your Candidates interview. Our interviews, featuring conversations with @segalink, will give candidates the opportunity to explain their policies, respond to scrutiny and speak directly to Nigerians. The discussions will also produce focused, issue-based videos that voters can revisit and share. This is not an offer of political endorsement. It is an invitation to public accountability. Every candidate deserves a fair hearing. Every voter deserves clear answers. To the presidential contenders and their running mates: @officialABAT @atiku @PeterObi @sowore @seyimakinde @Pres_Adebayo @Donald_Duke @Esthyken @ChibuikeAmaechi @KwankwasoRM @KashimSM And to the governorship contenders, beginning with Oyo State: @adekanmbi_bimbo @SenSharafaAlli @OriyomiHamzat_ The invitation is open to ALL candidates, including those whose voices rarely reach a national audience. To Nigerians: watch our existing episodes, follow this account and tell us whom you'd like to see interviewed. More importantly, what questions should they answer? Just the facts. No favourites. #KnowYourCandidates #NigeriaDecides2027 #Nigeria2027

OYO 2027: SIXTEEN CANDIDATES. ONE GOVERNORSHIP. BUT WHO REALLY HAS A PLAN? The race for Agodi Government House is taking shape, and the political calculations are anything but straightforward. Bimbo Adekanmbi (@adekanmbi_bimbo) is contesting under the APM, promising continuity with the current administration's development agenda. The PDP has former Deputy Governor Hazeem Gbolarumi, who believes he can deliver better results. The APC's Senator Sharafadeen Alli (@SenSharafaAlli) brings years of experience in public office, while popular broadcaster Oriyomi Hamzat (@OriyomiHamzat_) is seeking to translate his public following into political leadership under Accord. Then there are Taofeek Adegoke of the ADC and Kunle Olatunji of the ADP, both making ambitious commitments on infrastructure, education and development. But here's what makes this election even more interesting: there are TEN OTHER CANDIDATES. Some have contested elections before. Others are barely known outside their political circles. Should Nigerians dismiss them simply because their names are unfamiliar? Or should we be asking what they have to offer? After examining Nigeria's presidential contenders, Know Your Candidates is taking its independent, evidence-based political documentary series to the governorship races across Nigeria. OYO STATE IS OUR FIRST EPISODE. We examine the candidates, their backgrounds, track records, promises and controversies. We look beyond political endorsements, campaign slogans and impressive billboards to ask the questions that matter. What exactly are they promising? How will they pay for it? And what evidence suggests they can deliver? Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Kaduna and other states will follow. We're also opening the door for candidates who wish to explain their programmes and answer our questions directly in dedicated Know Your Candidates interview episodes. The platform is open. The questions remain independent. The decision belongs to the voters. 🎬 WATCH OUR OYO STATE GOVERNORSHIP EPISODE. Follow me for the coming episodes, share this video, and join the conversation. Oyo State, who deserves a closer examination, and what questions would you put to them? Just the facts. No favourites. #KnowYourCandidates #Oyo2027 #NigeriaDecides2027 #OyoGovernorship

THE OTHER CANDIDATES examines 11 contenders beyond the familiar faces, including the PDP’s Sandy Onor. We complain about recycled politicians. Then dismiss every unfamiliar name without hearing a single idea. How exactly do we expect different leadership to emerge? And to anyone asking to lead Nigeria must answer some basic questions. Where is your manifesto, Your funding plan and why should Nigerians trust you? Watch before you dismiss. Then tell us: who deserves a closer look? #KnowYourCandidates #NigeriaDecides2027

₦300 PER LITRE PETROL? DONALD DUKE SAYS IT'S POSSIBLE. But can the numbers actually work? The former Cross River Governor wants to make Nigeria productive again. His record includes Calabar Carnival, Obudu and the controversial Tinapa project. And who exactly is his 2027 running mate? We examined his record, his promises, the controversies and the questions still unanswered. @Donald_Duke, Nigerians deserve answers. Just the facts. No favourites. #KnowYourCandidates #DonaldDuke #Nigeria2027

Sowore is often dismissed as a political outsider, but how many Nigerians actually know what Sowore is proposing? From a ₦500,000 minimum wage to uninterrupted electricity and free education, we examine his record, his ideas and his vision for Nigeria. Bold promises or a genuine alternative? Watch our latest documentary and decide for yourself. @sowore @Harun_Magashi @SoworeNow2027 @aacparty #KnowYourCandidates #Nigeria2027

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES — EPISODE 3: PETER OBI Episode 3 turns to @PeterObi.

The aim remains the same: look beyond the brand, check the evidence, and make your own judgment. #KnowYourCandidates #KYC #Nigeria2027

Next in the series: @atiku. We look beyond the campaign messaging to examine his record in public office and business, the major allegations and controversies associated with his career, his policy positions, and the questions voters may want to consider. No propaganda. No favourites. Just the record, the evidence and the questions. #KnowYourCandidates #KYC #Nigeria2027

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES — EPISODE 1: BOLA AHMED TINUBU I’m starting a video series called Know Your Candidates: a non-partisan look at the records, promises, controversies and key questions surrounding Nigeria’s major political figures. No propaganda. No favourites. Just documented evidence, public statements and the questions voters should be asking. Episode 1 looks at @officialABAT. Watch. Check the facts. Make your own judgment. #KnowYourCandidates #KYC #Nigeria2027

Before you vote in 2027, do you actually know who you're voting for? Not the campaign version. The real record. Some are voting for a saviour. Some are voting out of hatred. Some are voting for a jersey. Know Your Candidates is here. Six candidates. Same questions. No favourites. Just the facts.

The National Conference. Nigeria's most avoided conversation. Every region wants it. Every government buries it. The North wants security on its own terms. The South-East wants a seat at the table. The Niger Delta wants its oil money back. The South-West wants Lagos to keep what Lagos earns. So why hasn't it happened? Watch this and find out.

Nigeria's insecurity crisis is no longer contained. The violence that has killed 13,346 Nigerians since 2023 and displaced entire communities is moving south into states and neighbourhoods that always assumed they were far enough away. #Nigeria #NigeriaInsecurity #CanYouImagine

In every democracy, people are told one thing: if the government is failing, there is an alternative. But what happens when the main alternative is made up of the same familiar faces… under a different banner? Nigeria’s political landscape is shifting again. New coalitions are forming. Old rivals are becoming allies. But beneath the movement, many Nigerians are asking a quieter question: Is anything actually changing? This short film explores what democracy loses when opposition becomes unclear, inconsistent, or indistinguishable from what it claims to replace.

Can Nigeria Actually Lower Fuel Prices? Yes, the Iran war matters. But if one foreign crisis can still shake fuel prices this badly in an oil-producing, fuel-refining country, then the real problem is bigger than war. @DangoteGroup @DangoteRefinery @nnpclimited @officialABAT #CanyouImagine #FuelPrices #Nigeria
