Nigeria’s main opposition parties are calling for a fresh election before ballots have even finished being counted. They’re saying that Saturday’s presidential vote was “irretrievably compromised,” with Nigerian voters complaining of intimidation and voter suppression. So far, the official count says the ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu leads nationally, but a shocking result saw him lose in Lagos to outsider candidate Peter Obi. This rollercoaster of an election in Africa’s largest democracy and economy will have an impact beyond the country’s borders. To discuss all this, we speak with broadcaster and filmmaker Bolanle Olukanni. Also on today's show: Roger Cohen, author, “An Affirming Flame”; Anand Menon, Professor of European Politics and Foreign Affairs, King’s College London; David Brooks, New York Times columnist To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy (https://cnn.com/privacy)
