About this episode
Voters in Benin will head to the elections on April 12 to choose a new president. The winner of the vote will take over from the current leader, Patrice Talon - who is stepping down after two terms and a decade in power. The two candidates in the poll are 49-year-old finance minister Romuald Wadagni, who will face off against opposition candidate Paul Hounkpè. We hear the priorities of young voters in the election.
And we get up close with Ify Adenuga, mother to British-Nigerian Rapper, Skepta as she shares what it was like raising a child who wanted to be a rapper?
