In this episode, Yvonne Eweka, Senior Programme Manager, Elections and Governance at the Co-creation Hub, joins the conversation to explore how democracy in Nigeria must evolve beyond periodic elections and symbolic celebrations. It challenges the notion that democracy is limited to voting every four years, emphasising instead the importance of continuous civic participation, institutional accountability, and digital innovation. Eweka discusses how tools like GoVote can foster year-round engagement, the critical role of civil society and media, and the urgent need to shift the culture among young Nigerians toward sustained democratic involvement.
