The Nigeria Debate Consortium has officially launched a platform for candidates in Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 general elections, starting with a governorship debate in Lagos. This event aims to offer a neutral setting for candidates to convey their policies and respond to critical issues facing residents.
Taking place at The Hub by IALA in Lekki, the debate features significant contenders including the current Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Funso Doherty representing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and Deji Doherty from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The debate serves not only as an opportunity for candidates to articulate their visions but also allows voters to scrutinize their capabilities on vital topics such as transportation, infrastructure, security, housing, education, healthcare, job creation, and economic development. These discussions are crucial as Lagos prepares for the governorship elections scheduled for February 6, 2027.
Viewers can join the live broadcast of the debate and follow updates through various social media platforms to stay informed on the candidates’ positions and insights.
