In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits with Peter Akah, human rights activist and civil advocate, who delivers a pointed critique of Nigeria’s democratic structure and frames the 2027 elections as a defining test of electoral credibility and public trust.Akah questions the concentration of power within the current administration, raising concerns about the independence of key institutions and the commitment to electoral transparency. He argues that discouraging voter turnout can be as damaging as altering results, warning that voter apathy weakens democratic legitimacy. He is also critical of INEC, saying public confidence in the electoral body has significantly declined.On opposition politics, Akah calls for unity over fragmentation, urging coalition-building that reflects the aspirations of young Nigerians. He maintained that a credible and strategic ticket under the African Democratic Congress could reshape the political landscape, while insisting that active citizen participation will ultimately determine the outcome of 2027.Guest:Peter Akah(Human Rights Activist / Civil Advocate)
