    Nigeria 2027 Election Runoff Prediction! We Are Policing The Police | Martin Obono | Volume w FemiD

    Nigerians no longer trust INEC to conduct a free and fair election — so a group of citizens built an app to watch the watchers. On this 2027 election special of Volume with FemiDlive, lawyer and civic-tech founder Barrister Martin Obono (creator of the "I Report In" app) breaks down exactly how citizens can report election-day results in real time, why the 2023 IReV portal failure still haunts INEC's credibility, and why he believes political parties — especially the opposition — are dangerously unprepared for 2027.We get into the real math behind a possible presidential runoff, why the opposition's fragmentation (Atiku, Obi, and the ADC/NDC split) could hand the ruling party a first-round win, the allegation of a growing APC "war chest" funded by unpaid contractor money, and why voter apathy — not rigging — could decide the election before a single vote is cast.🔴 SUBSCRIBE for weekly Nigeria 2027 election coverage, civic accountability, and political analysis: [channel link]TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why citizens stopped trusting INEC03:00 What is "I Report In" and how does it work?08:00 Stopping confirmation bias — evidence over perception12:00 Why registered voters keep skipping election day17:00 The INEC chairman's political bias controversy23:00 Is I Report In secretly working for a political party?28:00 How secure is the app against hacking?32:00 Is 2027 already a one-party election?36:00 The runoff scenario: can Tinubu hit 25% in every state?42:00 The APC "war chest" and unpaid contractors47:00 Final message: vote your conscienceTOPICS COVERED2027 Nigeria election, INEC news today, I Report In app, election result verification Nigeria, IReV portal, Nigeria presidential runoff 2027, Tinubu second term, opposition parties Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar 2027, Peter Obi 2027, ADC NDC merger, vote buying Nigeria, election war chest, voter apathy Nigeria, Nigerian diaspora voting, civic tech NigeriaVolume with FemiDlive is a civic media conversation series from The Volume Pod, hosted by broadcast journalist Femi D.

    Why do elections in Nigeria suffer from chronically low voter turnout? Volume with FemiDlive, host Femi sits down with Mr. Amara Nwankpa, Director at the Yar'Adua Foundation, to dissect the deep-seated disconnect between the Nigerian state and its citizens. Amara breaks down the critical differences between "pragmatic legitimacy" (driven by short-term incentives like vote-buying) and "moral legitimacy" (rooted in a true sense of national belonging).
