Description

In this round of post-election interviewers, Darren Kew speaks with research fellows, government officials, and professors about their thoughts and impressions of the newly elected president, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Tape 1 includes interviews with Dr. Cyril Obi, George Ehusani, and M.H. Kukah. They address such topics as the connection between oil and transitions in power, how the rift between the civil society groups and the political parties can be bridged, the emergence of class-based politics, voting patterns based on personalities rather than ideologies, "cash and carry politics," accountability of the new government, the role of the church, and corruption.

Tape 2 includes interviews with Clement Nwankwo, Aboo Oyediran, and Tilli Adebajo. They address such topics as the formation of the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG), expectations of what will change under Obasanjo, what Nigeria will look like in four years, and election thoughts from a business perspective.

Tape 3 includes the conclusion of the Tilli Abebajo interview, and finishes with Dr. Frank Enemuo. They address such topics as how business was conducted in Nigeria prior to Obasanjo's election, how corruption can be managed, the use of privatization, the context behind the electoral results, the dichotomy in representation between Nigerians in the north versus Nigerians in the south, how easterners have viewed the election process, and what will change under the new government.
