YNaija2015.com, Nigeria’s leading political blog has announced a novel approach to covering elections in Nigeria – with The YNaija2015 Election War Room. The war-room kicks off with the Osun governorship elections today, 9 August 2014. It is presented in partnership with the Co-Creation Hub and EnoughisEnough Nigeria.

“The mandate of the YNaija2015 vertical is simple,” says its editor-in-chief Chude Jideonwo. “We interprete politics for young people across the spectrum – reflecting the issues and ideas that matter and stand out from now to 2015. Elections are our focus, because they are center of the political universe, and this war-room is set to be the nerve center of informed, factual, definitive political discourse across elections in Nigeria.”
