21. "Buhari walked so that Tinubu could run": From right wing-statism to the Lagos Model

<p>In this episode, we put @SaeeduH on the hot-seat to discuss his recent article for @Africaisacountry on the ideological and economic legacies of the Buhari administration (we also challenge @SLASHER_OAG on whether Buharism and the Lagos Model suggest that the ruling classes have adopted a more complex mode of legitimation than the classic you chop, I chop model). </p> <p><br></p> <p>Is there a perspective from which Buhari&#39;s economic policies actually succeeded? Has Tinubu come to abolish Buhari-ism or to fulfill it? Why did some commentators think that a self-described &#39;radical-conservative&#39; member of the &#39;Kaduna mafia&#39; was a socialist? And why do Nigerians know so little about the various intellectual traditions that have influenced their political class? </p> <p><br></p> <p>Enjoy. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Meanwhile, we also preview some of our exciting new announcements, including our upcoming reading group on Nigerian political economy... </p> <p><br></p> <p>References:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Buharism is dead, long live Buharism <a href="https://africasacountry.com/2023/04/buharism-is-dead-long-live-buharism">https://africasacountry.com/2023/04/buharism-is-dead-long-live-buharism</a></p> <p>The Lagos Model and the politics of competing conceptions of good governance in Oyo State, Nigeria 2011-2015 <a href="http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3600/">http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3600/</a></p> <p>Muslim politics and shari’a in Kano State, Northern Nigeria: <a href="https://academic.oup.com/afraf/article-abstract/114/454/28/2195195?login=false">https://academic.oup.com/afraf/article-abstract/114/454/28/2195195?login=false</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
