June 12th, 1993 holds weight in Nigeria's recent political history. Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, won what was recorded as the fairest presidential election in Nigeria’s history. 30 years later in February 2023, host Deji Osikoya, along with Nigerians across the world, witnessed one of the more compromised democratic presidential elections in the country's history. Joined by writer, media entrepreneur and analyst, Lanre Idowu, the two comb through archives in search of the hope we lost in 1993.
In this episode of 4th Republic, we’re joined by Ayo Adio, who is currently running for Local Government Chairman of Eti Osa in Lagos.

Adio walks us through the motivations behind his candidacy, the barriers he’s navigating as a first-time contender without political godfathers, and what he’s learning about the way local governance actually works in Nigeria. This conversation is a crash course in political courage, civic engagement, and the complexities of running for office in a system that often discourages independent thought.
