## Resource

As preparations for the 2027 elections gather pace, growing numbers of outgoing governors and former state leaders are showing interest in Senate seats. This trend is raising questions among Nigerians about why many politicians move directly from executive offices to the National Assembly and whether it limits opportunities for new voices to emerge. On this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine what is driving this political pattern and what it means for Nigeria’s democracy.
