Nigerian Opposition – Latest News & Insights

Welcome to the hub for everything that’s happening with the Nigerian opposition.

We pull together the most recent articles, opinions and videos so you can get a clear picture without hunting through dozens of sites.

Why does the opposition matter? In Nigeria, the balance of power often hinges on how opposition parties and civil groups respond to the government’s moves. Their actions can affect everything from the economy to everyday freedoms. By keeping an eye on them, you get a better sense of where the country might be headed.

Why the Nigerian Opposition Matters

The opposition isn’t just a handful of politicians—it’s a mix of parties, activists, journalists and ordinary citizens. When they rally against a policy, it can force the ruling party to rethink or even drop the plan. Recent examples include the pushback against new tax bills and the demand for political releases of high‑profile detainees.

Take the latest call from Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu. He’s urging President Tinubu to free Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra. Kalu says Kanu’s release would calm the South‑East and help development projects move forward. That’s a classic case of opposition pressure shaping national dialogue.
