Beyond the legal arguments, Malami’s response signals what appears to be a widening pattern of targeted political enforcement, increasingly evident under the Tinubu administration. A Familiar Pattern: Anti-Corruption as a Tool of Political Containment Across the African continent, anti-corruption agencies often become instruments for consolidating political power rather than protecting state integrity. Nigeria, Africa’s largest democracy, is unfortunately displaying symptoms familiar to…

General Christopher Musa is an accomplished soldier whose professional journey reflects steadfast competence, disciplined valor, and exemplary dedication to service. Yet the sobering truth must be…

Gold. C. W. Emmanuel, PhD; CPsychol. AbstractThis brief interrogates the security implications of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to run on a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 general elections.
