The 2019 general electionsprovoked undeclared and unstructured discussions and debates in the Nigerian Left. Of the various themes that can be articulated from these animated exchanges of opinions—some of which are continuing—at least three may be considered central in the history and politics of revolutionary socialist struggle in Nigeria.

Socialism itself, as we know, would have no need of state, as state. That was the classical formulation in the second half of the 19thcentury.
On the classification of politics: Since the emergence of All Progressives Congress in 2013 and, in particular, since its victory in Nigeria’s presidential election of 2015, comparison between this ruling class party and the People’s Democratic Party —the ruling class party it defeated and supplanted—has remained on the agenda of the Nigerian Left. And, of course, the two parties have remained the dominant ruling class parties in Nigeria.

…Because We Are Nigerians By Sanni Oluwaseun | Sahara ReportersIt is clear at this point that it’s the fault of our leaders that we find ourselves where we are today. However, I think it’s high time we moved past expecting them to fix things for us; “that meins we will sleep dia”. The state of things now favours them so they are not going to try to fix it. The question is does it favour you, the ordinary citizen? I know your answer is no. I know because I feel exactly what you feel. Since we are all on the same page, then it’s about time we took the fight off social media and get serious. Unlike some guy in Zamfara who claimed to be “getting a little pissed”, me “I’m Seriously pissed” and I’m sure you are too. The time is now. No sidon look.
